If you have particular requirements at your workplace, the workshop can be designed to meet individual needs. Participants can be from one workplace or a number of services.

You organise the venue, we will do the presentation.

Cost: $40 per participant with a maximum of 20 participants. Minimum fee is $500. Additional charges apply for workshops outside the Sydney metropolitan area.
