BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS TRAINING WORKSHOPS FOR AFRICAN AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY

Africause is committed to supporting African Australian community to develop and facilitate opportunities in a wide different sort of aspects, in this case supporting businesses to work together, thrive and contribute to the local and African community. Africause has been an integral part of the community, supporting business to connect through a variety of networking events and workshops, by assisting with community access, by being involved in community functions, and by helping connect your business to local and state governments. At the moment, as part of a grant received by Government, Africause has partnered with VACC to offer free workshops to support NDIS service providers and community leaders upskilling with a better understanding of the system and support compliance with legal requirements. Thus, providing a better service and more positive outcomes for their NDIS participants and clients. 

Africause has contacted some of the highest qualified professionals from organisations like Progressive Care Solutions to support their members up-skilling. The current training sessions include community leaders, members and organisations who are registered or looking for registration as NDIS providers.

This training has 5 sessions programmed via zoom, where members meet every week to participate in culturally appropriate training sessions that allow them to understand concepts and regulations regarding NDIS scheme.  Our participants have been actively engaging, some of the topics that have been discussed during the sessions are:

  • Understanding the concept of NDIS, history and all relationships with the stakeholders involved and their obligations with the NDIA, funded supports available, CALD communities’ involvement and NDIS cultural diversity strategy.
  • To gain skills in accounting and budgeting for NDIS.
  • Registration to the NDIS process and considering recruitment skills and HR practises. Including policies and procedures in the course of delivering supports and services, assessing compliance and the NDIS Code of Conduct.
  • Using the NDIS portal and the importance of staff training regarding this system.
  • Education about the use of IT programs (excel) for reporting and planning.

This project has diverse benefits for organisations and the general community, as NDIS provider’s organisations will get knowledge and skills on managing and responding and being compliant towards the scheme and the community will have access to the services in a familiar environment where they can feel accepted and valued.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first inhabitants of this nation and the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging. We express our gratitude for the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and hope that we may move forward together in harmony and in the spirit of healing.

We also acknowledge the countless women who have experienced family violence, in particular women from migrant and refugee backgrounds. We recognise the courageous path they have travelled to rebuild their lives and honour their stories which continue to inspire and drive our work.

Africause is an organisation that values and celebrates diversity, and that is respectful of a person’s culture, identity and beliefs.
