As the peak body representing the SHS, Council to Homeless Persons is committed to fostering a workforce that thrives. This report, and the potential for reform it spotlights, is an essential step towards achieving that goal.
CHP commissioned the report from RMIT University’s Workforce Innovation and Development Institute (WIDI) to understand the effects of the pressures under which the sector is operating, as well as other sector dynamics that affect the experience of the workforce and the Victorians they support. This, in turn, will enable better workforce planning and help us to identify initiatives that ensure SHS workers are duly recognised, supported, safe, healthy and fulfilled in their jobs.
