The MATE team will periodically arrange Train the Trainer programs open to individuals to attend.
This will bring together people from different organisations, from different industries and locations across the country (and the world) to explore the MATE curriculum and become accredited MATE trainers. This allows participants to network with others, while learning about how other organisations are addressing violence prevention in their workplace.
Individual trainers will then be certified to facilitate Cultural Change Workshops within their own organisation for a period of 12 months. We do recommend that two staff from the same organisation gain accreditation in order to co-facilitate together.
MATE will support accredited trainers to ensure they are confident and capable to facilitate workshops and achieve positive outcomes.
One day refreshers are required annually to maintain accreditation ($200 per person).
The MATE team acknowledge and pay respects to the Kumbumerri Salt Water people, the traditional owners of the land on which our office sits. We acknowledge the Kumbumerri elders, past, present and emerging. We pay respects to all traditional owners across Australia where we meet, learn and work with others. MATE is committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
