Skillwise
program.
Up-skill and be rewarded.
Skillwise is a program designed to help our participants learn essential life skills as they progress towards independent living. Skillwise can help you to develop a deeper personal awareness of the following 7 key focus areas.
Health & Wellbeing
Positive Relationships
Effective Communication
Cooking Basics
Money Budgeting
Problem Solving
Conflict Resolution
It's not just learning, it's hands on.
Through reflection, discussion and activities, you will develop a stronger understanding of the 7 focus areas.
Your support worker will help you to schedule the Skillwise program in to your weekly planner. Each week you can participate in 5 learning modules, each with a corresponding activity. Each module is worth 10 points.
​
For example, to complete the Cooking Basics module, you will select a new recipe, shop for the ingredients, prep and cook the meal and then clean up afterwards. Our support workers will be there to assist you and provide guidance along the way.
Skillwise is a simple program delivered to you, in your home.
Our Support workers are trained to deliver the program into the daily care that they provide you. Each week you get the chance to earn 50 Skillwise points. These points are redeemable for vouchers for places like BCF, Events Cinema, Rebel Sports and more. You will always be in the driver's seat. You decide how you would like to engage with the program, which skills you would like to develop each week and in what way you would like to be recognised for your efforts.
Skillwise + Workwise
Skillwise has been designed to work side by side with our Workwise Program, which is a hands on work experience program that aims to improve our participants employability, gives them guaranteed work and award wages. It is a fully insured and supervised program. Participants get all the benefits the come from getting outside and doing a good days work.
In addition to our Skillwise program we deliver the Prem Rawat Peace Education Program.
We are very excited to have been granted a license to offer the Prem Rawat Peace Education Program to you. Carewise case managers have been trained to deliver the program in a one-on-one or group setting. Through reflection, discussion and activities the participant will develop a greater personal awareness of 10 core themes.
