Tailored information sessions
While we encourage you to make use of our existing resources or attend an upcoming webinar wherever possible, we understand some organisations may have specific needs that are better met through a tailored information session.
If you have unique education requirements that our existing resources don’t address, please contact education@publicguardian.qld.gov.au. We’ll work with you to see if a tailored information session is appropriate, or if there’s another way to provide you with the information you’ve requested.
Please note, requesting a tailored information session doesn’t guarantee one will be arranged. However, we may use your request to inform upcoming webinar topics.
