WESTERN REGION
NETWORK MEETINGS ARE ON THE AGENDA
We all have a very busy month ahead here in the west with
many events taking place throughout our district during June.
On June 1 st and 2 nd , Housing Staff will travel to Barcaldine to
attend the Central West Housing and Homelessness Area
Network Meeting hosted by the Department of Communities –
Business Development and Innovation Unit. The meeting will be
a great opportunity for staff to network with other housing
services, department representatives and other organisations.
The meetings are always well attended and are an excellent
opportunity.
A number of Housing staff will also travel to Rockhampton in
early June to attend the first block training session for the
Certificate IV in Social Housing which is being conducted
through the Queensland Community Housing Coalition (QCHC).
Over the next 6 months, participants will cover all aspects of
working in the social housing sector and providing effective
management of tenancies and properties. This training has been
made possible through the Productivity Placements Program
(PPP) funding and we are very thankful to both Anglicare Central
Queensland and the QCHC for making such an opportunity
available to our staff.
In the last week of May, Joyce Berwick attended H.E.A.R.T
Training in Townsville on behalf of the Emergency Relief
program. H.E.A.R.T is very beneficial for support workers and
provides insight and understanding of how clients fall into their
habits and circumstances that result in them needing to
access Emergency Relief services.
The training outlines how education, living circumstances and
brain function can affect a person‟s ability to create change
and improvement in their lives and addresses ways to
encourage change in clients to enable a better quality of life.
H.E.A.R.T also equips Support Workers with the skills to apply
suitable Emergency Relief options that will best assist the
individual client relevant to their needs.
