What are the Part 2 MPIO workshops like, and where are they run?

The Part 2 workshop is facilitated by your state or territory department of sport and recreation, a peak body for sport, a state sporting organisation or a national sporting organisation. It runs either in person (3 hours) or as an interactive online workshop (2 hours). Times and locations vary by state and territory, and some sports' national, state or territory peak bodies deliver sport-specific Part 2 training.
