Full Description:: This five-day intensive short course will support staff working in Indigenous Affairs and Social Services to build their proficiency to work developmentally. Participants will develop skills in place-based approaches, locally-led decision making, frontline leadership, institutional brokering, and adapting to complexity.

The course is beneficial for government staff at all levels, and for staff working with NGOs, Indigenous organisations, mining companies or other private sector employers. Many of the case studies are drawn from remote Indigenous communities, while others look to disadvantaged urban localities, country towns and international development. Participants also bring their own experiences and knowledge, which we draw on to maximise relevance.
