APO-Vic e-Manual team

This e-Manual helps Victorian Authorised Program Officers (APOs) increase consistency in practice.

It consolidates core information, enabling APOs to find what they need to work effectively, implement best practice and access existing external resources as easily as possible.

This e-Manual also supplements and supports education provided through induction training and in-service professional development provided through APO Community of Practice activities and related events.

Throughout this e-Manual, APOs can access key information and find more detailed information on various topics via other resources.
