Why Remote Workers Need Support?

Research reveals that changes – such as geographical and workplace, often forces an individual (and their families) into an arduous ’adjustment’ process. This transition process is characterised by a series of ‘stages’. It can feel harrowing as we move around the stages of change. For some, this transition experience results in “culture shock” with serious physical, emotional and psychological disruption.

Remote Worker Support Service endeavours to support individuals and their families to:-

1. Respectfully transition to remote and very remote communities
2. Maintain an understanding of the unique culture of the traditional owners of the land/s
3. Understand the stages of adaptation
4. Ensure that ongoing support is readily available
5. To develop an awareness of strengths and weaknesses and how this can impact on cultural transition and burnout
6. Develop a respectful bi-cultural framework.
