Join us for discussions, connection, and inspiration at the Consumer Workforce Forum ahead of The Collab 2025.
Last year, we heard from influential Lived Experience leaders discussing key topics like the meaning of ‘risk’ and ‘duty of care.’ We also witnessed the launch of the Abolitionist Perspectives Report and learned how it came to life. Consumer LEW members shared stories of their work, and we engaged in a thought-provoking panel on the challenges and opportunities of mental health reform.
This year’s conference theme, Consumer Workforce Forum – Our Discipline, Our Knowledge, Our Strength, emphasises the power, resilience and invaluable expertise of our community.
At this event, the CAP team will be thrilled to celebrate with you the upcoming launch of the Consumer Lived Experience Workforce Discipline Framework (Victoria) in March 2025 and talk a bit about how we got there. This milestone represents a significant step forward for our workforce, acknowledging and celebrating the unique contributions of the lived experience workforce.
Let’s come together to honour our discipline, amplify our voices, and chart a bold path forward as we continue to shape and strengthen the consumer lived experience workforce.
