Additional Information
Professor Daniela Stehlik is the presenter for "Community Development models: a Queensland perspective" to celebrate the first of the Community Development Seminars, 2004 and International Women's Day.

This presentation draws on recent research conducted in Queensland with Disability Services Queensland(DSQ). It will describe a pilot program introduced by DSQ into rural and remote Queensland which takes up the challenge of family practice within a community development approach. In the spirit of International Women’s Day 2004, Daniela will draw on some of the challenges that women as practitioners face in building new programs. The presentation will focus on the strengths and lessons learned with some preliminary reflections on possible exemplars for W.A.

Professor Daniela Stehlik has returned to Western Australia from Queensland to take up the foundation Chair in Stronger Communities in the Division of Humanities at Curtin University. She has also been appointed as Director of the Alcoa Research Centre for Stronger Communities, a unique partnership between industry/community/university. In Queensland, Daniela's involvement in community development activities, and the impact of change on communities in crisis has led to a number of publications focussing on the role of the practitioner as an agent of change and a catalyst for community resiliency.

The CD Seminar Series is sponsored by: Department for Community Development; Australian Government Department of Family and Community Services; Learning Centre Link; Department of Local Government and Regional Development; WACOSS; Lotterywest; Alcoa Research Centre for Stronger Communities, Curtin University of Technology; Social Work-UWA; Melville City Council.
