SUMMARY:Whole-of-Sector Outcomes Framework Conversation
DESCRIPTION:WACOSS has been working in partnership with the Department of Premier and Cabinet\, and with support from the Department of Finance\, on a whole-of-sector Outcomes Framework. The aim of the Framework is to create scaffolding that assists in linking outcomes across different agencies and programs\, and in particular to address some of the siloes in service delivery that have been evident across program\, agency and departmental levels\, in turn generating better service delivery outcomes for the community. \nAs part of a broader engagement strategy\, WACOSS is inviting you to come along to a half-day interactive conversation about the Framework’s first and second prototypes. The session will provide some introduction to the language and context of outcomes\, and to the project itself\, and then delve into facilitating advice and feedback on the domains\, population level outcomes and indicators that form the pieces of the Framework. We encourage participants to come prepared with their own outcomes measurement strategies and/or frameworks from your sectors\, so that we can spend some time ‘mapping’ these to the broader outcomes framework.

SUMMARY:Natural Disaster Resilient Community Organisations
DESCRIPTION:How quickly could your organisation ‘bounce back’ after a major disaster? \nHow would you support your vulnerable clients if your own building was damaged\, electricity and communications down and roads impassable? \nLearn how to benchmark your organisation’s resilience and identify the actions you need to take to ensure your clients get the support they need\, even after a ‘worst case scenario’. \nThis one-day workshop will take you through the Australian Council of Social Service online Resilient Community Organisations resources\, including the Bench marking Tool\nand the ‘6 Steps to Resilience’ Tool. The workshop will be delivered by Stuart Reid from the WA Council of Social Service. As well as  being a lively and engaging workshop facilitator\,\nStuart is a veteran of Darwin’s Cyclone Tracy so he has some first-hand experience as well. \nThis is one of a series being run around WA as a result of a Natural Disaster Resilience Program Grant. As a result\, the workshop will be provided at the very low price of $25\nwhich will go to cover some of the local costs. Tea and coffee on arrival\, morning tea and lunch provided. \nPlease note if you are a volunteer-run or a very small organisation\, training can be provided at no cost. If you require free registration\, please contact WACOSS directly at info@wacoss.org.au.
