Australia has faced numerous natural disasters recently, including bushfires, floods, cyclones and droughts.  The intensity and severity of these events appear to be increasing, leading to significant community impacts:

• Loss of life, injuries, and displacement
• Psychological stress
• Damage to infrastructure, including housing
• Economic impacts, such as loss of earnings and disruption to tourism
• Environmental damage
• Agricultural losses

Our communities have also been affected by various non-environmental disasters, such as the Lindt Cafe Siege, Bourke Street attacks, Plympton mass stabbing, Hunter Valley wedding bus crash, recent Bondi stabbing, and ongoing domestic violence incidents.  Additionally, the pandemic, housing crisis, and rising cyberattacks have caused financial hardship and psychological impacts.

AASW is pleased to bring a revised and upgraded Advanced Supervision Program. This program offers a comprehensive and specialised curriculum designed to enhance experienced supervisor skills and knowledge across various practice areas. It is an 8 week evidence-based program with self-paced eLearning, virtual online collaborative workshops, facilitator led masterclasses, and coaching circles.
