Short Courses

Each year the Groupwork Institute of Australia runs a range of short courses that compliment our major courses.

All workshops build on people’s existing experience and skills, work with people’s ‘live’ issues and focus on outcomes relevant to the group.  Our approach is engaging, lively and participatory.  All material is practical and easily understood.
