Research shows that about one-third of all health and social care service managers in Australia have a health or social care provider background. As direct service clinicians and staff mature in their profession and become more experienced, they are encouraged to take on both the professional supervision of individuals and the management of groups or units within their service. The transition from ‘service provider’ to ‘service manager’ often brings challenges and can be a sharp learning curve for emerging leaders in the health and community sectors.
This course aims to assist professionals in the welfare, health and community services sectors to strengthen their leadership and management skills as they transition into management and leadership roles. The course is also suitable for current managers seeking to further their leadership aspirations and pathways and those contemplating the transition into management in the future.

This course explores these key transition areas and the capabilities and skill areas for development required to support the transition process. Registrants are also encouraged to complete a number of reflective exercises (including a SWOT analysis) to assist them in developing and assessing their learning and development needs and strengths, together with their goals in transitioning into or furthering their management careers.
Who should register? This course is suited to a range of social work and/or other community and Allied Health workers across community, health, Government and welfare settings.
