Community & disability services training
The Community Services (Complaints, Reviews & Monitoring) Act 1993 (CS-CRAMA) applies to all government and non-government community services provided, funded, licensed or authorised by the Minister for Family and Community Services, the Minister for Ageing or the Minister for Disability Services. Our workshops help services to understand their obligations under CS-CRAMA.
Workshops are also available for disability service providers on responding to incidents of abuse and neglect and their responsibilities for reporting such incidents.
We offer the following workshops specifically designed for the community and disability services sector.
