How this is delivered

Option 1: 12 months (Package + Face-to-Face Workshop)

Includes 12 months access to online learning plus optional drop-in live sessions. Participants attend a half-day face-to-face workshop held 2–3 times per year in SA CBD, offering opportunities for discussion, shared learning and networking across diverse settings. Workshops support sustained engagement, reflection and the ability to revisit and extend learning over time.

Note: Workshops require minimum numbers. If cancelled, participants retain online access and may be offered an alternative date where possible.

Option 2: Self-paced (Package + Online Workshop)

Flexible self-paced learning with a 1-hour online workshop offered twice per year. Sessions provide structured opportunities to deepen understanding, share practice examples and engage in professional dialogue with educators and experts. Participants can choose from scheduled sessions, supporting ongoing reflection, connection and application of learning in practice.

Option 3: Organisation (Package + Communities of Practice)

For services (8–25 participants larger groups on request), this option includes a facilitated in-service Community of Practice.
