What is the PSP Learning Hub?

The PSP Learning Hub is a Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) sponsored initiative.

It is for ALL casework staff working in the Permanency Support Program and is designed to deepen knowledge, develop practice skills and support sector connections.

The PSP Learning Hub is a state-wide, central, voluntary and largely free initiative (some face-to-face training may incur a small fee).
