Councillor Induction and Professional Development Program

SINC Solutions can create and adjust specific training, procedures and guides to align with the needs of Councillors in councils of any size.

Councillors need to be given different information to that of staff, as their roles and responsibilities are different.

Our training program can be incorporated as a component of your Councillor Professional Development Program. Our training program is aligned to local government requirements of oversight agencies and will equip your Councillors with the information and resources needed to undertake their roles and responsibilities effectively.

We can provide information sessions on topics such as:

  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Integrated Planning and Reporting
  • Code of Meeting Practice
  • Code of Conduct
  • Councillor and staff interactions
  • Conflict of interests
  • Political donation requirements
  • Gifts and benefits

‘Think Again’ Drug and Alcohol Training Program

We are passionate about ensuring that all employees understand how the use of alcohol and/or drugs can affect their performance at work and endanger their own health and safety and that of others. We recommend regularly reminding staff that they need to be fit for work at all times, and demonstrate how to resolve any issues that may arise around inappropriate drinking or use of drugs.

Are you adequately protecting your organisation and looking after your employees?

Some things to keep in mind:

  • Most drug users are employed
  • 20–25% of all work accidents involve alcohol
  • 15–30% of all work fatalities are related to alcohol and other drugs

This is one of the areas of state and local government in which we have significant experience. If we haven’t listed your issue here, don’t hesitate to get in contact. We have probably done it before – and a few times at that.
