Community Service and Health Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) Training Resource Kit

These were developed for use in Indigenous Community Health workplaces and funded under the WELL program by the Commonwealth Government.

Parts of them would be suitable for people wanting work-related LLN to do with health care, child care or meeting procedures.

The instructional language used in them is generally too high for the ACSF level of the material.  Mostly they need trainer input and aren’t suitable for self-study, or for general purpose literacy.
