“Supervision is a formal professional relationship between two or more people in designated roles, which facilitates reflective practice, explores ethical issues, and develops skills.” (Australian Clinical Supervision Association, 2015; cited in Supervision Guidelines for Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Services, 2023).
This two-day workshop prepares participants for the role of supervisor and is designed for staff from all disciplines, including non-clinical roles such as the peer workforce. During the workshop, participants will explore strategies and tools to enhance supervisory skills. High-quality skills demonstration videos are used to model the core elements of effective supervision practice, and participants will have opportunities to practise delivering supervision in a culturally sensitive manner.
To progress and enrol in this training, participants must pass a pre-enrolment screening process that requires them to:
- meet the minimum requirements to be a supervisor as outlined in the Supervision Guidelines for Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drug Services, 2023
- complete the QC60 Introduction to Supervision eLearning
Resources are provided to support completion of the pre-enrolment screening. This process ensures that all participants attending the QC4 Supervisor training have a shared understanding of key supervision concepts, regardless of previous experience or training.
