Held in Cairns our first regional QPHCN event explored the topic Supporting your Outreach workforce. During this workshop style event attendees heard from leaders in the Outreach health services space as they discussed how CheckUP can support Outreach workforces.

CheckUP also officially launched our new micro-credentialing program Going all OUT for Outreach. Grant Stidiford, Regional Director, Far North Queensland Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT), attended to launch the beneficial training program, which is funded by DESBT. Going all OUT for Outreach is a suite of three micro-credentials co-designed by outreach providers and host organisations.

Available to both existing and new service providers contracted to deliver Outreach services through CheckUP, as well as Outreach host facilities. The program aims to ensure that health providers have the appropriate knowledge and skills to respond to the complexity of Outreach work and can confidently identify skill needs and provide upskilling to the local workforce and supervision to students.

Self-paced and free to complete, access the course via CheckUP’s Health Service LMS portal.
