Positive Partnerships in 2011

Positive Partnerships is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Although this is the final year of the current contract, funding under the program will continue with future options under consideration throughout 2011.

Our focus over this year will be to ensure the continuation of the high quality Positive Partnerships' workshop delivery, materials and practical resources, whilst providing some alternate programs that aim to build in sustainability of learning and access to our resources and key planning tools beyond 2011.
