Community education team

The ACTSES has recently established a Community Education Team. The team is responsible for developing educational material and to delivering community education presentations and discussions to the ACT community on behalf of the ACTSES. Such presentations may be made to special interest groups, schools and college students, members of the various Community Councils, and other groups as identified.

The Community Education Team also attend displays at shopping centres, employment fairs, festivals and fetes, and at other places identified as an opportunity to educate the community about any aspect of ACTSES business. The Community Education Team is aligned with the Pialligo Unit.
