Training Partner Agreement for Mental Health Education Between Torres and Cape HHS and Multiple HHSs

About

Torres and Cape HHS awarded a contract to Multiple Hospital and Health Services for a Memorandum of Understanding Training Partner Agreement (MoU TPA) under the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Learning (Learning Centre).

The agreement enables Torres and Cape HHS Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs Service (MHAODS) educators to be trained as Training Partner Educators to deliver the 'QC9 Critical Components of Risk Assessment and Management' course across all TCHHS MHAODS sites without the presence of a Learning Centre Clinical Educator.

The Learning Centre provides all training and resources at no cost to the partner organisation, except travel and accommodation for upskill events, which are covered by existing budgets or conducted online.

This arrangement reduces the need for staff to travel to Cairns for training and supports more regular education to maintain compliance with mandatory training for accreditation.

The partnership may be expanded to include other Learning Centre courses in the future.
