Wellbeing Consultants

Regional Wellbeing Coordinators

The department has Regional Wellbeing Coordinators (RWCs) in all 7 regions to collaborate and support schools and regional office teams that would like assistance in implementing staff wellbeing initiatives.

The RWCs utilise best practice approaches including the 5-step process in the Staff wellbeing planning guide and Staff wellbeing framework, to assist schools within their region to plan, implement and evaluate staff health and wellbeing initiatives to improve the wellbeing of staff.
