Best Practice Supervision Guidelines

The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing has developed Best Practice Supervision Guidelines for the family violence, sexual assault and child wellbeing workforces.

Supervision is central to developing and sustaining the sectors’ workforces.

The Guidelines were developed in collaboration with the sectors and incorporate information from the Best Practice Supervision Information Sheets, published in 2023.  

The Guidelines provide information on:

  • Best practice approaches to supervision
  • Recommended standards
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • The department is also producing a series of videos to support the Guidelines, which will be available in the coming months.

The Guidelines and videos are for use during individual, group or peer supervision sessions, staff induction, policy development and supervision training.
