Workplace Training

Tailored training programs for your organisation

The Working Women’s Centre offers a variety of workplace and community organisation training programs, shaped by research and examples of best practice.

Our programs have been developed to identify primary issues for vulnerable workers, utilising intervention and prevention strategies to promote a positive and supportive workplace. 

Our goal is to provide workplaces with the practical tools to support their staff through training, policy development and ongoing consultation.

Our training packages range from 1.5 hours – 3 hours, can be tailored to suit your organisational needs and most can be delivered virtually when face-to-face learning is not essential. Our workshops are for all staff but can be adapted specifically for managers, executives, site leaders, contact officers, or volunteers.
