Workforce Development

The Australian Institute for Social Relations (AISR) is the training division of Relationships Australia SA. Established as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in June 2004, AISR was the first federally-funded Skills Training Centre in Australia to provide training tailored to the specific needs of health, community services, family law and other human service sectors. Currently, the AISR is the largest non-government provider of training in these sectors across South Australia and is a significant player nationally.

Specialising in developing and providing targeted and tailored learning packages, AISR enables government and non-government organisations, managers and workers to provide high quality services to vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. Experienced in the implementation of training designed to enable service re-orientation, AISR has provided training at national, state, sector-specific and organisational levels for this purpose. These packages have been delivered in response to the needs of a wide range of professionals including social work, psychology, nursing, occupational therapy and medical practitioners, and legal practitioners.

Skills Centres in Port Augusta and Berri are now open. You can view the current training calendars for each location by clicking the buttons below.
