How we can help
Service development
Improve how your service responds to people who use alcohol and other drugs and achieve better outcomes with our practical tailored solutions. Whether you are in the specialist alcohol and other drug field or in mental health, justice, or community health, we can help plan and implement latest best practice. We offer detailed best practice reviews and analysis of impact, effectiveness, and reach.
Tailored workforce development
We understand that workforce development is much more than sending your team to a workshop or two every year. Effective workforce planning and growth is critical to set your organisation up for the future. We can assess, plan, and implement a workforce strategy so that you have the right people with the right skills in the right jobs.
Practitioner workshops
Our expert clinical trainers are the key to effective learning. Not only great facilitators, but they also have decades of real practice experience in mental health and alcohol and other drug clinical practice, so you know the skills you are getting are up-to-date and practical. We have flexible arrangements for individual practitioners and organisations.
Program evaluation
Our program evaluation team will help you review and improve the quality of your programs by establishing impact, reach, and effectiveness through formal evaluation. We undertake evaluation of major government initiatives as well as service programs and pilot projects. Our pracademics ensure robust evaluation methodology balanced with real world understanding of service provision for practical and sustainable outcomes.
Systems change
We have specialist expertise and extensive experience in health care planning. Our focus is on understanding the balance between service demand, effective service delivery, and budgetary constraints, and ensuring service needs are met as efficiently as possible. We offer investment mapping, need and demand mapping, and complex analysis of demand and supply of health services to ensure service planning and investment results in the best possible outcomes.
