As part of its Bushfire Recovery Project, VCOSS is developing a Bushfire Recovery Outcomes Framework for Community Organisations to help identify and measure their contribution to bushfire recovery.

VCOSS is committed to gathering the ideas, thoughts and concepts from community service organisations to ensure the framework reflects bushfire recovery outcomes achieved across the sector.

VCOSS invites organisations to contribute to this important work by attending a workshop to help capture:

Your community’s success stories in recovery
The positive changes that your organisation is achieving
The lessons learnt from the recovery journey
The challenges for your communities

Your participation will provide important inputs and insights to the development of the Outcomes Framework. The workshops will also provide a valuable opportunity for you to connect with others from across the community sector and share and learn from diverse experiences.

The workshops will be facilitated by Elaine Hendrick who is supporting VCOSS with this project. The workshops will be held via Zoom and are scheduled to take 1.5 hours. Workshops will be held on:

Wednesday 9 June
Friday 11 June
Wednesday 16 June

We encourage you to register to attend one workshop – please select your preferred date and time on the Register button to your right. Zoom links will be provided prior to the workshops.
