Keeping in touch/welcome back programs

Hi all,

DHA is currently looking to improve our return to work experience for staff returning from parental/long term carers with a keeping in touch/welcome back program and wondering if other agencies had a process/program they could share with us.

Please email us at culture@dha.gov.au

Tracking RAP deliverables

Hi all,

We’ve recently come across Weavr, a First Nations made program used to track Reconciliation Action Plan deliverables, their First Nations strategies, or their First Nations development plans.

I’m hoping to gain feedback from users on its usefulness, whether it delivers value for money and how your organisation adapted to using the program.

If anyone has experience with this Weavr, I would love to hear from you!

Jawun program enquiries

The National Archives of Australia is hoping to hear about other small agency’s experience regarding the Jawun program. They would like to know what the average costs agencies incur for a 6 week APS secondment, and also whether agencies pay staff the full 6 weeks of TA or if they choose another option. If people are able to email Norrae Johnston, at ProfessionalDevelopment@naa.gov.au that would be greatly appreciated.

building D&I Network

Hello

I am new to the HR and D&I space and I was hoping to build up a network across smaller agencies in the APS.

I’m particularly interested in hearing what other agencies have got planned on their D&I calendars and if there’s a possible chance of interagency collaboration on some events.

Please feel free to reach out to me at Diversity@ACIC.gov.au

Thanks

Adrian Abbate
