UNE Partnership and Ability First Australia to co-design and deliver Frontline Leadership Diploma

UNE Partnership and Ability First Australia to co-design and deliver Frontline Leadership Diploma!

UNE Partnerships has entered into a contract with Ability First Australia to co-design, develop and deliver a Frontline Leadership Diploma. Ability First Australia is one of the largest not-for-profit strategic alliances comprising 14 of Australia’s leading disability service providers. The organisation represents the interests of around $1 billion worth of support services to over 92,000 people with disability, their families, and carers.

The need for a Front-line Leadership Diploma stems from the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme which has brought significant change to providers, workers and participants in the disability sector. As part of these changes, the roles and responsibilities for the Frontline Leader and many other positions in provider organisations have changed considerably.

To address this industry training need, Ability First Australia received funding under the Australian Government’s Jobs and Market Fund and chose UNE Partnerships to undertake the co-design, development, accreditation with ASQA, and delivery of the pilot. When completed, the qualification will be owned by the Commonwealth and made available to all Registered Training Organisations once the pilot trials have been concluded.
