Thanks @tyme, no reply yet, <checks again it case it as missed... nope> hopefully next week sometime.  Their website does have some information I've started to read through, but doesn't really answer many of my questions so far.

I reckon just keep looking around. Enrolments are usually for the Jan and July intakes so in the months leading up to the intakes is prob the best time to look. @MJG017

Thanks @tyme, I'll start to keep an eye out.  First come, first served maybe 🙂

I think it's application based. So it looks at if you have a qualification already, your economic statues, whether you are employed etc @MJG017

@tyme  I had my appointment with PASS this morning and I brought up how peer support has been really helpful for me.  I mentioned I had emailed someone at Lived Experience Workforce Program (LEWP) a week or so back about taking the next step to pursuing peer support work.  She said she used to work for them 20 years ago when i was starting is was happy to contact them and find out some more for me and see what was happening with my request.  So it was quite a productive morning with that and all the other things I got to discuss with her.

Great stuff @MJG017 ! 

That's certainly a start. Peer work is huge. There's so much room for growth and movement, from policy, right to face-to-face peer work

Thanks @tyme.  It's all so new to me, it's exciting to jump into something I feel passionate about but not knowing exactly where it all may lead and involve.  I usually hate that sort of thing being a little bit 'risk adverse' but this feels exciting.  Another personal change to add to the list! 😁
