Professional Boundaries workshop

An overview of professional boundaries and why they’re so important in our everyday work. We will explore what professional practice looks like and the guidelines and policies that support you. We will also consider when things can go wrong and what to do if a breach of professional boundaries happens.

This course will build your understanding and knowledge of professional boundaries. We will discuss how boundaries are developed and explore some of the issues that can compromise workers from being professional and becoming too involved with clients. We will also discuss difficulties that arise when staff operate outside the professional boundaries of the organisation.
Key Questions we will answer.
• Why is it important to have a consistent approach?
• How do policies and procedures provide consistent boundary guidelines?
• How can we be “friendly but not friends” with clients and recognise changes?
• How does culture influence professional relationships?
• What behaviours create risks and breaches in the workplace?
• What to do when issues arise and the importance of reporting and managing risks
The webinar will be tailored to staff working in direct service provision roles across a range of settings. The content will therefore be linked to the Health Records ACT 2001, Australian Community Industry standards, quality standards and programme guidelines.
