Organisational and workforce capacity building

SEPHU’s upcoming organisation and workforce training is designed to strengthen the skills, confidence and capability of our region’s prevention workforce to deliver inclusive, equity-focused and community-responsive strategies. These initiatives equip practitioners with practical tools to design, implement, and evaluate effective, evidence-based prevention and health promotion activities.

Drawing on expert partners, the program includes story-based qualitative evaluation, systems thinking, culturally responsive community engagement, plain language and health literacy, equity-focused program design and co-design with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Participants will gain hands-on experience in reflective practice, evaluation for learning, inclusive communication and authentic partnership — ensuring prevention efforts are relevant, accessible and impactful across diverse population groups.

This series of capacity building opportunities responds directly to the needs identified through the South East Prevention Symposium and is part of SEPHU’s broader commitment through its Public Health Strategy and Population Health Catchment Plan to strengthen local capacity, amplifying lived experience and fostering collaboration across the prevention system.
