What are we doing?

Aboriginal Workforce Development Program

BWAHS has developed a suite of 10 short course workshops that are designed to be delivered over one day each. The workshops are designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, generalist ACCO workers and specialists in family violence case work. The workshops assist with building awareness, knowledge and skills in family violence work and holistic, culturally centred best practice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Victoria. Program funding will enable BWAHS to maintain it's specialist teaching workforce and deliver these workshops.
