Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi
Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi Aboriginal Corporation is a community-based organisation, working with Aboriginal families in remote Central Australia and the APY lands in South Australia. Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi is Luritja language, meaning for “doing good work with families” and the name encapsulates the Waltja story.
Managing staff
Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi has consistently committed funds and in-kind support for staff professional development since incorporation. All new staff members undertake a three-month probation period with induction, training and supervision by a senior worker. The probation review process includes self-appraisal, supervisor appraisal, and a probation review meeting between the CEO, Supervisor and staff member. The CEO and Executive Directors also conduct yearly performance appraisals with all staff members, during which staff identify training needs and future aspirations.
These processes work together to make sure Waltja staff are performing at the best level possible while quickly identifying any potential issues regarding staff performance and addressing them in a timely manner. All in all, this means that the local communities are getting the maximum benefit from staff members and their organisation.
