Question 1

What is the difference between peer work supervision and clinical supervision?

Accepted Answer

Peer work supervision is discipline-specific. It attends to the particular ethics, risks, and wisdom of lived and living experience practice, including peer drift, the labour of disclosure, and the specific pressures on peer roles within clinical systems. Clinical supervision, however well delivered, is built around a different discipline and often cannot fully meet peer workforce needs. Social work supervision, which LEXs also offers, is a separate service again, on its own model. Many peer workers use peer-specific supervision alongside any line management supervision they receive.

Question 2

Do you provide supervision from a consumer or a carer perspective?

Accepted Answer

I hold lived and living experience as both a carer and a consumer, and from a multicultural background. I work from the lens your context calls for, name which I am drawing on, and keep them distinct. Where your practice needs a standpoint I do not hold, including Aboriginal lived experience, I will say so and help you find suitable supervision.

Question 3

Can group peer supervision be arranged for my team or organisation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Group peer work supervision is offered to teams and peer clusters who bring a pre-formed group of 2 to 6 participants; I do not assemble groups or match practitioners into them. The group's nominated payer (typically the buying organisation or one team member acting on behalf of the group) handles the booking and prepays the session. Single 90-minute sessions and sustained team or organisational supervision (custom term block) are both available. Contact me to discuss group composition, scheduling, and starting dates.

Question 4

Does supervision count toward my professional development?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Supervision records can be provided to support peer workforce development documentation, organisational requirements, and any relevant credentialing. Specific requirements vary by employer and state; I can structure sessions to support whatever evidence you need.

Question 5

Can my employer fund peer work supervision with LEXs?

Accepted Answer

Many organisations fund external peer work supervision for their workforce as part of workforce development. I am happy to provide documentation, invoicing, and written service agreements to support that arrangement. If you want to discuss this with your employer, reach out for a supervision proposal document.

Question 6

Can supervision be tax deductible for peer workers in private practice?

Accepted Answer

For self-employed peer workers and consultants, professional supervision is generally tax-deductible as a work-related expense. Best confirmed with your accountant or the ATO for your specific situation.

Question 7

How to Begin?

Accepted Answer

Single sessions are available for organisational and individual self-funding buyers. A 6-session prepaid package is available for organisational buyers and peer workers whose supervision is funded through a scheme.
