Let's Talk About - Partnerships

Partnerships are popular with the services and peak bodies in the community services and health sectors in particular. They can be a great way to develop new relationships and to tackle difficult problems. Also government departments see partnerships as a way for effective engagement between people, organisations and government. The Workforce Council's Marian James and Carolyn Ovens talk about practical ways to work through and with partnerships and announce some useful resources from the Workforce Council.

Each episode in the series of four outlines the intensity of the work. In the last episode tools to support partnership work are outlined.
