The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lived Experience-Led Peer Workforce Guide (Guide) has launched

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lived Experience Led Peer Workforce Guide (Guide) launched today.

The Guide, which we developed in partnership with the Black Dog Institute's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lived Experience Centre, was created to support the implementation of the Western Australian Lived Experience (Peer) Workforces Framework.

The first of its kind in Australia, the Guide is a learning tool for all lived experience workforces and organisations, supporting with the establishment, sustainability, and continuous improvement of the Aboriginal Lived Experience workforce space.

It will also help workforces better understand their roles and responsibilities.

The development of this Guide aligns with our broader strategy of integrating culturally appropriate practices and promoting the inclusion of lived experience in all aspects of care within the mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide prevention systems.
