Quality supervision is a uniquely tailored, professional development process that supports clinical and professional skill development, reflection as well as the essential skills of self-care and personal well-being. 

Your workplace has invested in supervision training for you and your colleagues as they want to build a supervisory-friendly workplace culture to ensure supervision flourishes in your organisation. 

They also want all of the team to have access to the most recent, evidence-based knowledge about best practice supervision and training that is aligned with the recognised Supervision Frameworks such as The Superguide: a handbook for supervising allied health professionals from NSW Health the Victorian Department of Health’s Clinical Supervision Framework  and the SA Health Allied Health  Professional Supervision Framework. 

 The training covers all aspects related to best practice supervision including: 

• key principles of professional and clinical supervision

• building a supervision framework

• developing learning goals

• addressing adult learning principles and learning trauma

• applying different learning approaches, stages and styles of learning

• building a psychologically safe supervisory relationship

• enhancing the workplace learning culture to make it supervision-friendly

• providing feedback (especially managing those “tricky” conversations), 

• reflecting on how supervision fits with other related workplace processes 

• applying the practicalities of supervision throughout a range of workplace contexts.  

I have taken the time to understand your workplace context, met with the training organiser/s to unpack the training, and reviewed your supervision policies.  

The feedback that we receive about this training is that the content is relevant to everyone new or experienced to supervision. For anyone new to providing supervision support you will gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to be a supervisor. If you are a more experienced clinician and supervisor, you will have the opportunity to review, reinforce, consolidate and extend your learning about supervision.
