We had a meaningful session with our Multicultural Peer Support Workers (MPSW) from our Culture in Mind program. This program is delivered alongside our peer workers, whose lived experience enriches every aspect of our work. The session focused on strengthening how we support our communities and deepening our understanding of the supervision framework. It provided space to reconnect with the MPSW role, reflect on our practice and role-plays, and ensure we continue to engage in ways that are culturally safe, grounded, sustainable, and supportive of our wellbeing. We highly value the peer support role and recognise how vital it is to create safe spaces where peer workers can learn, share, and feel heard. Sessions like this help us stay connected, aligned, and ready to support community members with empathy and cultural humility.

We had a great time during our Goal Setting & Vision Board Workshop, which brought together an amazing group who explored their 2026 goals and created inspiring vision boards to bring their dreams to life. We reflected, planned, and visualised the futures we’re working toward, together. A big thank you to our Employment and Training team for bringing this workshop together, and to everyone who joined us.
