IMPORTANT: Please read the information below to assist you in completing your application online.

Welcome to Round 10 of the Innovator Training Program

Thank you for your interest in the ARIIA Innovator Training Program (ITP). This online application form is powered by SmartyGrants. Applications for Round 10 Close 5pm ACST, Friday 17th May 2024. Training will commence within 3 to 6 weeks of the close of the round and is dependent on the delivery model that you are allocated to.

The contact-time commitment is a full-time equivalent period of three weeks. During this time the individual can continue with a fraction of their regular work commitments when not participating in the ITP. The ITP includes regularly scheduled compulsory online workshops and project discussions. There are a number of models of delivery, each offering the same training content structured in different ways:

Individual ITP: your choice of a 10-week program; a 5-week program; a 3-week program across 5 weeks

Themed ITP: We understand it can be difficult to identify just one problem to solve in your workplace. In Round 10 we will be offering a 6-week program for projects that focus on Innovative approaches to retain aged care workers.

Tailored or InHouse ITP: contact itp@ariia.org.au for further information on these delivery models.
