Hello Victorian AOD Peer Workforce!

It’s that time again and we are very excited to announce that we have a date locked in for the next Victorian AOD Peer Workforce Community of Practice (CoP).

As a peer worker, we would like you to participate in the CoP to contribute to the growth of Victoria’s AOD peer workforce. The CoP serves as an opportunity for you to network with other Peer Workers around the state, to celebrate successes, share difficulties, feedback to agency, community and government and explore new opportunities.

What is the Community of Practice?:

The Self Help Addiction Resource Centre (SHARC) currently facilitates the AOD Peer Workforce Community of Practice supported by the Department of Health (DH).

The Community of Practice (CoP) for the AOD Peer Workforce supports and cultivates the existing and emerging Peer Workforce and seeks to draw upon the collective knowledge, experiences, and resources of our community to provide:

• Continuous professional development
• Collegiate support to underpin sharing, resourcing and collaborative problem solving
• Opportunities for consultation and feedback to enhance the development of the Peer Workforce

We invite you to attend the next Community of Practice:

Date: Tuesday 21st April 2026

Time: 11:00am – 2:00pm

Location: SHARC, Gordon Storey Memorial Hall, 140 Grange Road Carnegie VIC

We really encourage you to contribute to the agenda as well. So, if you would like any agenda items added please let us know by COB Tuesday 31st March 2026. Please feel free to call or email us if you would like to discuss any ideas for the agenda. 

AS WE NEED TO ORGANISE CATERING, PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE VIA EMAIL TO PEERSUPPORT@SHARC.ORG.AU BY COB Tuesday 7th April 2026 WITH ANY DIETARY REQUIREMENTS OR YOUR LUNCH WILL NOT BE CATERED FOR.

We look forward to seeing you at the next community of practice 😊
