Training
- Development of an Early Identification and Referral Training Package and an Information Kit for professionals who may come into contact with families and individuals with complex needs at risk of homelessness. These initial packages, commissioned by Housing Tasmania, are targeted to general practitioners, child and family nurses, school support staff and private property managers. These were developed in consultation with key stakeholders.
- Design and delivery of a training package for Housing Tasmania staff to help implement a new service delivery model. The training was conducted with staff at all levels of the organisation, using an experiential approach.
- Development of a training syllabus for use by staff in Supported Accommodation Support Services (SAAP) across Tasmania. This was based on existing accredited training packages.
- Training Needs Analysis for HACC and disability community-based agencies in Gippsland. The project involved auditing skills, identifying training needs, and developing a training plan. One of the agencies was a major Aboriginal agency.
- Mentoring and coaching senior executives of community-based organisations.
- Authored chapters of National Training curricula in aged care and disability sectors.
- Designed and delivered training in strategic and operational planning to non-government organisations in Northern Queensland and to school personnel in NE Victoria.
- Designed and delivered competency-based training to the youth sector in North Queensland.
Facilitation
- Facilitation of planning sessions for Alpine Network of Schools – through an active learning approach, the network of schools was able to explore: why and how they might work collaboratively; mutual benefits; and potential governance and management arrangements. A strategic statement and action plan were developed.
- Development of Community Participation Strategy for Upper Hume Primary Care Partnership (PCP): Evolving Ways facilitated a collaborative process with the 39 agencies that form the Upper Hume PCP. A range of participatory activities was successfully conducted, enabling the differing agency needs to be identified and considered. Existing good practice in the participating agencies as well as in the literature was identified and helped inform the Strategy. Given the number of agencies involved and the varying degrees for readiness for community participation, the Strategy is a broad framework, enabling agencies to proceed at the pace best suited to them.
