Governance for Social Impact training returns
We provided a grant to the Centre of Social Impact through the University of New South Wales to provide Governance for Social Impact training in Tasmania in 2024 and this very well received course returns for 2025 on 5 and 6 November.
This executive education program is delivered in a way that develops participants in an engaging and participatory way and challenges thinking to help better understand and lean into the complexity of the social purpose landscape.
The content, presenters and activities included in the delivery of this program are highly experienced, in the community sector and program delivery, and deeply engaging.
Participant from last year Georgie Ibbott said she had done a lot of different professional development, and this was a refreshing change because it assumed a base level of understanding and focused almost entirely on community impact and how we can use our skills to increase our community support.
“We are currently figuring out how we can more purposefully interact with government and improve the whole of the community sector,” Georgie said.
“Having an understanding on how to measure and monitor social impact informs this work we are already doing with the government and other organisations. This makes sure we are delivering on our strategic promise and upholding our responsibility of supporting our community organisations.”
The Governance for Social Impact training is delivered through some pre-reading, two consecutive face-to-face training days and short written response following the face-to-face training.
The TCF recognises the value of building capacity at all levels across the community and is particularly keen to support community organisations to develop and prosper.
The Centre for Social Impact is a collaboration between the Business Schools of four of Australia’s universities: UNSW Sydney, The University of Western Australia, Flinders University and Swinburne University of Technology.
Applications for the program are now open and will close on 17 September 2025.
