Training

Shelter Tas has been delivering a specialised professional development program for Tasmania’s housing and homelessness sector since 2015.

Funded by Homes Tas, our program delivers exceptional quality training that is co-designed with the sector, and overseen by the Workforce Development Reference Group which includes broad sector representation.

Quality training for housing and homelessness practitioners is more important than ever. Increased demand for services and escalating pressures caused by the shortage of affordable rental housing have intensified workload across the sector.

By choosing topics in consultation with our members and selecting trainers who are experts in their field, we can provide a diverse suite of subsidised training opportunities for this highly skilled workforce. Our regular training schedule  includes: 

  • updates to the Residential Tenancy Act
  • sessions on mental health, and alcohol and other drugs
  • trauma informed practice

Please get in touch with our Workforce Development Officer at training@sheltertas.org.au if you have any questions about the Workforce Development Program or upcoming training.
