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: 10^th July 2025
