What the organisation receives
Facilitator-led delivery at your site or online, scheduled around your existing program calendar.
A personalised, visually based workbook for every attendee, theirs to keep.
Attendance, completion and statistical reporting generated from the SIRITIS case management system.
A close-out summary per cohort that your case managers can actually use.
What participants do
Participants map their life, barriers and next steps, and leave with a personal roadmap your staff can work from. The tools are visual and the language is plain, so literacy never decides who can take part.
Why this program exists

Closing the Gap Target 8 aims to lift the share of First Nations people aged 25–64 in employment to 62 per cent by 2031. The Productivity Commission assesses the target as not on track, and employment is among the outcome areas recorded as worsening.
