An opportunity to engage the volunteer network from across different ESOs, within the COP\'s vast area. Community of Practice creates a defined \'space\' to which enables members to address their shared experiences and collaborate on solutions to practical problems which are encountered in workplace and volunteer environments. They develop a shared repertoire of resources: experiences, stories, tools, ways of addressing recurring problems. Each meeting provides a space for participants to learn and grow from each other. It addresses both Well-being and Compensation issues where advocates can work together to ensure there is a holistic approach and ensures the maximum use of service provision Our next meeting will be held on the 14th May 2021 at Ourimbah RSL at 10.30am. The guest speakers are Legatee Jenni Bourchier and Mr Peter Lawley (CEO) from Brisbane Water (NSW) Legacy. They will be providing information on Legacy and the programs they provide to their beneficiaries (enrolled clients). Programs such as those available for our young contemporary families where the Veteran has died and also those families where the Veteran has “given his health” and no longer able to provide care for their family. They will also talk about eligibility for enrolment into Legacy. Peter and L/Bourchier will also be able to provide in depth information to the network on the scholarship program that Brisbane Water Legacy has available along with eligibility, the application process and what the scholarship can provide. After lunch an opportunity will be provided to discuss compensation matters and we look forward to some subject matters to discuss in detail.
