Professional Development

OSA Community of Practice

At the beginning of this year OSA reviewed our existing Communities of Practice (CoP) programs (Digital Dilemmas and the Northern Information Management CoP). 

Incorporating feedback from members, we have decided to offer one CoP for the State, which will focus on creating relationships between members of the records management community, and particularly those who are brand new to the records space, such as executive officers and administrative officers who find themselves responsible for information management within their organisation. 

This is a great opportunity for networking in a supportive environment where you can ask questions of both OSA and each other, share news and information and relevant articles.  As part of the relaunch of the CoP we will also be hosting two networking events, one in the South and one in the North. 

Southern Morning Tea:
When: Wednesday 11^th of June 2025 10am – 11am
Where: State Library, Level 3 Reception (91 Murray St Hobart)

Northern Morning Tea:
When: Tuesday 24th of June 2025 10am – 11am
Where: Launceston Library, Room 1, Level 2 (71 Civic Square)

Please contact enquiries@osa.tas.gov.au if you are interested, and please forward the information to any colleagues you think might be interested either in the CoP membership or attendance of the morning tea or both!

Please complete this form to register for a membership of the OSA Online Community of Practice and to provide feedback on your experience with previous Communities of Practice offered by OSA.  .
