Learning Hub launched! The Learning Hub was officially launched in May. Members enthusiastically engaged with the new platform with over 630 programs accessed during the first week, the most popular of which were our new Telepractice and COVID-19 webisodes. The Learning Hub features a range of live and taped online courses, communities of practice programs, the Speak Up podcast, Queensland Legacy Fund webinars and webisodes. Be sure to visit the Hub regularly as we upload new programs weekly. Introducing our new Communities of Practice program We are pleased to announce our new Communities of Practice program. Join an ongoing social learning group where you will participate in discussions, share case studies, and support problem solving for a deeper understanding in your field of practice. You will meet with your Community of Practice Leader for one hour either fortnightly for three months or monthly for six months.
