FAQ

  • Can I get a tax invoice?

    When you purchase via our secure online platform a tax invoice will be sent to your email address.

  • What if I can’t make all the sessions?

    You will still have access to all the materials from that session. We do not record network sessions, but we will endeavour to catch you up in the next session.

  • What is the learning network model and how is that different from a course?

    TACSI’s learning networks draw on the strength and experience of everyone in the room. Rather than one-way teaching, learning networks will offer you space to apply theoretical content to your practice, learn from your peers, and feed that back into shaping the learning journey. Our networks also centre and amplify the lived expertise of folks who have first-hand experience in the topics we cover.

  • How long will I have access?

    You will have lifelong access to the course materials.

  • Will I get a certificate?

    Yes, you will be presented with a certificate on completing the course.

  • I don’t work in mental health – can I still be a part of this?

    We welcome applicants from sectors that adjoin or connect with mental health. Past participants have included folks working across allied health, government, and social enterprise. Anyone working in services related to mental health will gain from better understanding approaches to co-design.

  • Are there any scholarships or subsidies?

    Yes, we reserve two free places per network cohort for First Nations applicants, folks with lived expertise, and low-income earners. Contact Jess, Learning Coordinator, ([email protected]), to request your place.

  • Who can I talk to about any other questions?

    You can speak with Jess, our Learning Coordinator, via email ([email protected]) or the contact form below.

  • What if I realise I can’t attend the network after purchasing it?

    Networks and courses are non-refundable. If you are not able to make a network, and let us know more than 14 days before the start date, we will issue you a credit note (valid for 12 months) for use in a later network or course. At any point before the start date of the network you can transfer your place to a colleague at no additional cost. Contact Jess, Learning Coordinator, ([email protected]) if you have any questions.

What past participants have said

“I cannot recommend TACSI’s Co-Design Learning Network highly enough. Brilliantly presented and worked through, I have gained valuable information and tools to seriously bring about true teamwork and co-design to my workplace.”

Participant, Co-Design for Mental Health

“Chris casts the net of this course broad enough that both Social Innovators and people from adjacent fields will find new value and stretch within the diverse content but also deep enough that it will likely provoke revelations for all. The group dialogues accompanying each module allow the time to explore topics deeply and draw parallels with your own practice. I also don't know of another course that more comprehensively weaves First Nations storytelling throughout.”

Participant, Foundations in Social Innovation

“I'm definitely going to be more aware of power imbalances, and of the unique kinds of power people hold.”

Participant, Co-Design for Mental Health

“FINSI creates a much needed space for those practicing and interested in social innovation to explore in depth the current practices and methods in Australia and the world. The course foregrounds First Nations wisdom and masterfully weaves stories and practice with what these concepts mean for your context. Highly recommended for those looking for a well rounded, carefully crafted experience that prioritises learning, reflection and connection.”
