In FY18 SVA shared our perspectives by:
Publishing 23 SVA Quarterly articles and 19 podcasts on leading practice to encourage learning and discussion among sector leaders, practitioners and policy makers.
The SVA Quarterly is a subscriber publication for sector leaders, with articles also shared in trade and specialist publications such as Pro Bono News, The Mandarin and Australian Policy Online. Through the SVA Quarterly we share insights and learnings from our work, for the benefit of all organisations working in the social purpose sector.

“In my role, I spend a great deal of time collecting, reading and unpacking research around teaching practice and approaches with our teachers. The Toolkit is neat, concise and easy to use. It will save me countless hours in the way it lights the path directly to the most relevant and reliable research.”
– Frances Roberts, Head of Curriculum, Bounty Boulevard State School
Sharing and tailoring the Teaching & Learning Toolkit with educators across Australia.

More than 12,300 educators have accessed the Teaching & Learning Toolkit four or more times in a year.
