SUMMARY:Migrants and Centrelink: Community worker training from Welfare Rights Centre
DESCRIPTION:Want to know more about access to Centrelink for migrants and other newly arrived residents? \nAustralia’s social security system has strict residency criteria. Payments are usually available only to Australian residents\, with most migrants subject to a Newly Arrived Resident’s Waiting Period (NARWP) or other qualifying residency period. People from New Zealand who have lived in Australia for many years can be particularly harshly affected. \nOur free webinar takes participants through a checklist to assess a client’s eligibility. Speakers cover key issues including residency criteria\, waiting periods\, Special Benefit\, domestic and family violence\, the impact of overseas assets and income\, and a whole lot more.⠀⠀ \nWe explain the specific circumstances that may enable access to Special Benefit or other payments\, and address the possible extension of the Newly Arrived Resident’s Waiting Period rules. \nTarget audience: Community workers and volunteers\, social workers and lawyers \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Navigating Change (Oranges Toolkit Wellbeing Masterclass Series)
DESCRIPTION:The neuroscience of change\, practical tools to guide you through uncertainty\, complexity\, and reflect on your personal response to change. \nFrom the moment we are born\, we are in a constant evolution of micro\, often undetectable\, changes. In a workplace\, how change is planned\, communicated and embedded can affect the wellbeing of employees. Equally\, the success of a change program relies on how employees and stakeholders respond. \nWe can manage change more effectively by having a greater understanding about the way our bodies respond to change and having practical tools to use when change overwhelms us. \nIn this highly interactive session\, your team will leave with an understanding of:\n\nThe neuroscience of change – how our brains and bodies respond to change\, plus how we can override these reactions when they are unhelpful\nHow our mindsets towards change impact our emotions\, behaviour\, and those around us\nA range of practical\, positive tools to help navigate change more effectively\n\nBrought to you by Sector Support Central Coast and Hunter \nRegister here
