Service Coordination: What? Why? How?
Self Paced Training Module

This is a self-paced training module for staff involved in service coordination activities. The module has been developed to complement agency orientation and induction programs. It provides you with an introduction to service coordination, including:

  • An understanding of the policy context, objectives, principles and practical approaches of service coordination in Victoria.

  • An awareness of how service coordination enhances services’ capacity to respond to consumers’ and carers’ needs.

  • An understanding of the benefits of service coordination.

  • An overview of the elements of service coordination including Initial Contact, Initial Needs Identification, Assessment, and Care Planning.

  • An overview of how referral fits within service coordination.

  • An understanding of the resources available to support service coordination including the service coordination Tool Templates and Guidelines.

  • A general understanding of Practices, Processes, Protocols and Systems (PPPS) and their role in guiding agency practice.

The training module includes activities and assessment questions that are interactive. The module is divided into a number of parts you can complete separately. This allows you flexibility about when you complete each part and which parts you complete (for example, you may decide that some parts are more relevant to your work role than others; a number of learning pathways are suggested according to work role in the Practice part of the training module).

Service Coordination: What? Why? How? is available in 3 formats:
