ADVANCED session
This Leaderclass is a continuation of the Masterclass held at the end of 2018 and designed specifically for the leading practitioners in the field. The aim of the Leaderclass is to provide specialist, leading financial counsellors with opportunity to continue building best practice skills and knowledge in responding to the needs of clients impacted by family violence. The content and format of the Leaderclass will be determined in consultation with participants. It will assist senior practitioners to respond to complex cases – the type of cases you might not encounter every day, but that challenge your current skill set.

For many Australians, access to Centrelink payments is essential for their basic financial survival and wellbeing. This course is designed to provide attendees with the practical skills and tools necessary to assist clients who disagree with a Centrelink decision, including navigating the Centrelink appeals process (in particular for Disability Support Pension applicants) and assisting those who have had debts raised against them for alleged overpayments. This session is designed to incorporate and complement existing knowledge of attendees and will be interactive and dynamic, with a focus on the application of technical knowledge and skills in a practical setting. It also aims at bringing social security experts and financial counsellors together in order to provide better outcomes for clients.

OPEN session
Many clients, particularly those affected by gambling harm, benefit from working simultaneously with a therapeutic counsellor and a financial counsellor. However, there are not, as yet, well developed models of interdisciplinary approaches to clients experiencing gambling harm, and there is a lot to learn about how to develop effective cooperation between ‘FCs and TCs’. This session for both TCs and FCs will establish a clear understanding of the different roles of each, then look at ways the two can or should collaborate in producing the best possible outcomes for clients.
