ABOUT THE WORKSHOP SERIES

This workshops series aims to facilitate the development of Dietitian provision of supervision service to Dietitian supervisees in Australia. It is the first of its kind for Australian Dietitians/APDs. The overarching goal of this training is to support a culture supervision in Australian Dietetics by helping to build a community of confident, professional and enthusiastic supervisors. The workshop will run at least twice each calendar year.

What is the content of the training?

The content of the workshop series covers the theoretical and practical essentials for the development of an ethical and effective supervision service. This is introductory, foundational training that aims to enhance the confidence and practical supervision skills of all participants, irrespective of supervision experience.

The supervision being taught in this workshop series is individual professional/clinical supervision. The workshop does not teach student supervision, managerial supervision or group supervision. The principal mode of supervisory practice focused on in the training will be reflective supervision however we will also cover the teaching, restorative and accountability tasks required in the delivery of effective supervision to practicing professionals.

What methods of learning will participants be engaged in?

The methods of learning include small group discussions, case studies, experientials, reflective learning, videos and live demonstrations. All training methods will embody the skills and spirit of Motivational Interviewing. There will be an abundance of wisdom and practice based evidence amongst workshop participants and the training is designed to pull that forward, affirm it and then build on it with dynamic learning opportunities and theoretical knowledge development. The training provides a safe learning environment where attendees can have a go, make mistakes, triumph and find their own supervision style.

Who will be in the class?

Attendees will be APDs/Dietitians already delivering supervision who may (or may not) have had some supervision training or APDs/Dietitians preparing to become supervisors with no training at all. Class size will be capped at 12 – 15. Limits will be described when each workshop is confirmed.

What will the registration fee be?

The fee for the training and workbook = $850.00 incl GST (payment upon final registration) for 2025. This price will increase in 2027
