We aim to offer participants ideas about best practice ways to work with people with intellectual disability in the justice system, while acknowledging that each person is unique and there can be no ‘one size fits all’ approach. This training is suitable for a range of professionals working alongside people with intellectual disability. Recognising that some attendees will be coming from disability service backgrounds and some from justice-oriented backgrounds, we aim to provide an overview of both areas.

Four decades on since the release of Mamma Mia, which was the opening track of their 1975 third self-titled album, it was Australia's adoration of the Swedish pop group that forced pressure on the groups record label and management to eventually lift the track as a single in September 1975 - a single that rocketed to the top of the Australian singles charts where it remained for ten straight weeks. The Album sold eleven times platinum. GOLD The Ultimate ABBA Show is all about giving audiences a true ABBA experience and this will prove no different once again featuring internationally recognized ABBA performers who have taken to the stage globally with both Kathleen Maloney (Agnetha) and Kirsten Elliott (Anna-Frid) commanding attention and respect in their performances on the most recent 2014 New Arrival Tour.

UnitingCare Community aims to offer training to suitable workers in your area to incorporate the delivery of the 2-day Peer Skills Workshop into their current work with young people. The program includes innovative ways of working with young people that are fun and engaging. Using an experiential learning mode of delivery, the program is based on the philosophy of empowerment and is young person centred in its approach. Why Peer Skills? The program was developed as a response to the recognition through calls to Kids Helpline that young people often turn to their fellow students for support in difficult times, before they turn to parents, counsellors or school staff.
