About Archdale Labs
Archdale Labs is a dedicated training consultancy focused on meeting the needs of Australian local government. Current challenges in this sector include the impacts of rate caps impacts on resourcing, oversight body expectations and understanding the impacts of evolving technologies.
Currently, the majority of eLearning offerings are generic and inflexible. Many modules built for use in the Australian government point to Commonwealth or State legislation and oversight bodies.
Larger Councils may have the resourcing to develop dedicated programs, but this is time consuming and often costly. Rural and regional Councils face a particular challenge in accessing eLearning options that are both high-quality and cost effective.
Archdale Labs was established in 2023 to address this. Our unique competence is a detailed appreciation of the operating context for local government in Australia.
We work with a local educational design firm to ensure the content is engaging and professionally presented.
