Train the trainer program
Training other trainers is vital to the ongoing development the Sustainable Farm Families program. As well as extending the network of trainers, it also enables feedback and continuous improvement to program delivery.
Growing the skill base
The Sustainable Farm Families program is extending its reach around Australia. We have trained:
- 93 trained health professionals across Victoria.
- 13 facilitators from the Victorian Department of Primary Industries. These facilitators assist with the delivery and facilitation of programs funded by the Department of Primary Industries.
- 18 health professionals from Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Tasmania and Western Australia have.
These trainers have been successful in delivering programs to their own local farm families.
