We invite you to register for a two-day foundational SRV workshop, Towards a Better Life, to be held in Macquarie Park, Sydney in June 2026.

Join us to learn about Social Role Valorisation and its practical applications from our interstate presenters Kylie Duncis and Amie Storer.

This workshop is a popular event. Places are limited, so please secure your place to avoid disappointment.

About this workshop

Learn a framework that helps give meaning and depth and helps to make the most of contemporary opportunities! This workshop explores how getting valued roles can lead to changed societal perceptions and strengthen the likelihood that people with a devalued status will get a better life.

The core themes and principles of SRV will be explored through presentations, exercises and discussions.

Completion allows entry to the 5-day practicum, PASSING.

Who Should Attend:

This workshop is designed for participants from a range of sectors (senior and aged services, disability, mental health, youth etc). This will include team leaders, coordinators, support workers, family members, people with disability, people with a mental illness and older people receiving services.

Team leaders and managers looking for more contemporary approaches to support will also find this course valuable. Participants will be people who are looking for ways of meeting the real needs of marginalised people, resulting in better lives.
