ABOUT THE WORKSHOP SERIES
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. It is the first of it’s kind for Australian Dietitians/APDs.
What is the content of the training?
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 (live and pre-workshop learning components) and workshop workbooks = $850.00 incl GST for 2026. This price will increase in 2027.
There is an option to access a delayed payment due 6 weeks after the completion of the training.
