Advanced Supervision Program (Family Violence)
The Advanced Supervision Program was created in direct response to the recommendations from recent Coronial, Royal Commission, and State Ombudsman reports, which highlighted the need for advanced supervision for frontline social workers and the lack of quality supervision training and support. It is a 6-week evidence-based Program with a blended learning approach (eLearning, facilitator-led masterclasses, online collaborative workshops & coaching circles).
