SUMMARY:Webinar: Emerging Issues 2023
DESCRIPTION:Our conversation will focus on groups excluded from the workforce\, the current workforce challenges facing the community sector and burnout within the workforce. \nWe will hear the lived experiences of people who are feeling the impact of a growing swell of political extremism\, and the impact that has on the day-to-day lives of ordinary Australians\, and the wider impact on our political landscape. \nWe will also continue the discussion on working together in transitioning services to ACCOs. \nMore specifically\, Emerging Issues Forum will focus on the following key issues: \nMoving to Aboriginal Service Delivery\nFollowing a successful Day 3 at our Conference in May\, we will focus on how we can work in partnership in moving to ACCO service delivery. This is a significant conversation to have\, in light of the Referendum that will be held this year\, and the positive impact it can have in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. \nWith guest speakers: \n\nJenny Sala\, Executive Manager of Business Development\, Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia\nKlaudia Shenton\, Policy and Strategy Manager\, Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia\nCheryl Smith\, Assistant Director General of Aboriginal Outcomes at the Department of Communities WA\n\nLabour market and workforce trends\, challenges and opportunities: Supporting workers facing disadvantage and building community sector capacity\nUnemployment is at historically low levels and community sector organisations face particular difficulties in recruiting staff\, notably in regional areas. At the same time there are many groups in the community who face barriers to work. This presentation considers current and future labour market and workforce trends and issues\, focusing especially on addressing barriers for people who are excluded from jobs. \nWith guest speaker Dr Fiona Macdonald\, Policy Director\, Industrial and Social\, Centre for Future Work \nCollaboration: How does working together affect workforce wellbeing\nWe know collaboration helps social services address the complex needs they see in their clients\, but could it also be the key to looking after the people delivering these services? This session will share the findings of Health Justice Australia’s involvement in the Global Burnout Survey and explore their implications for the design and delivery of services that look after their workforce as well as the communities they support. \nWith guest speaker Dr Tessa Boyd-Cain\, Founding CEO\, Health Justice Australia \nLived experience of a politically extremist world from the Trans perspective\nIn 2023\, political extremism is becoming more and more an issue in Australian society.
