About Elevate!
Elevate! is funded by the Victorian Department of Health and delivers a centralised workforce program that trains and upskills Victoria’s alcohol and other drugs (AOD) workforce.
About Elevate!
Our mission is to build a skilled, available and sustainable workforce that meets the needs of people experiencing substance-related harm in metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria.
The Elevate! program targets:
- New recruits into the AOD sector
- Existing workers in the AOD sector
- AOD workers who haven’t had the chance to access training in previous years
If you work for a state-funded AOD service AND are an AOD worker, at any level, in any program, or in any location within Victoria, this program is for you! All the training under Elevate! is free to state-funded AOD workers.
Brought to you by VAADA
VAADA is the peak body representing publicly-funded AOD services in Victoria. We work to prevent and reduce AOD-related harms in the Victorian community by ensuring the people experiencing those harms, and the organisations that support them, are well-represented in policy, program development and public discussion. You can find out more about VAADA at our website here.
Travel Contributions
One of the barriers commonly experienced by organisations and workers in the sector is the cost of attending training, particularly for workers from rural and remote locations. The Department of Health has funded a contribution scheme for organisations to access when staff attend training. See our Travel Contribution page for more details.
Meet our Partners
The accredited and non-accredited training providers featured on Elevate! will be familiar to many across the sector. All training is delivered by industry and subject-matter experts with extensive experience providing high-quality professional development to the AOD workforce.
