The Western Cluster reports biannually to the Department of Health to provide information on the types and frequency of training activities, the range of participants attending, feedback on workshops, and the types and effectiveness of processes used to conduct our business.

Project Manager
My name is Rosemary Charleston and I am the Project Manager

and productive initiative, one that allows Victorian public mental health
services to strengthen workforce development and partnerships
(cross cluster and cross sectors).
My role is responsible for coordination, liaison, education and training
development and evaluation, and cluster communication. It would be
great to hear from you about any of our current or future activities.

Western Cluster Governance Committee
The Governance Group is responsible for providing a single point of coordination to achieve the goals and objectives for the Education and Training Partnership. The Group is also responsible for providing advice and strategic guidance and direction, determining structures and roles, funding arrangements, and evaluation developments. Each participating cluster service has a member representative on Governance.
Western Cluster Education and Training Steering Committee (WETS)
A philosophy of collaboration, inclusion and equity underpins the roles and responsibilities of the Education and Training Steering Committee (WETS).
The Committee (WETS) is responsible for coordinating and overseeing the implementation and evaluation of workforce development activities within the cluster. It is primarily responsible for progressing operational issues associated with the major activities. The Steering Committee reports to the Governance Group, and provides support and advice as required to this group.
Each participating cluster service has a member representative on WETS. Allied Health groups, Aged Persons Mental Health, and Child and Adolescent Mental Health are also represented.
