Settlement Workshops
Designed for individuals working specifically in settlement services sector supporting refugee or humanitarian communities in Australia, the Settlement Workshop enables participants to build their knowledge and capacity to provide appropriate support to refugee and humanitarian women and children in Australia.
During the two-day practical workshop, you'll learn how to recognise the signs of domestic and family violence, how to respond to someone experiencing domestic and family violence and what best practice methods should be used to refer refugee women and their children on to the most appropriate support service.
To be eligible to attend, participants must work or volunteer in the settlement services sector supporting refugee / humanitarian communities in Australia

"My knowledge and confidence in recognising and responding to the specific needs of clients from refugee backgrounds (has increased through the course). The knowledge of the trainers, the openness for discussion, the practical resources and information (were the best aspects of the training). Thank you so much for the training!
