Financial Management Essentials (FME)
Education for non-finance roles is also essential to successfully manage cost-centre budgets, guide teams and affect behavioural changes.
During the two-day program, participants utilise NSW Health case studies to develop knowledge and skills to effectively manage financial resources.
Participants consolidate the learning back in their working environment by undertaking a workplace report to identify and propose a measure to reduce costs, generate revenue or achieve more efficient operations.
