Professional Development
Short, practical courses that build the clinical, behavioural and safety capabilities needed across aged care, disability and community settings. Two formats for every topic — a focused one-day refresher, or a comprehensive two-to-three day program with case studies and workplace practice.
These are non-accredited courses and do not lead to a statement of attainment or a nationally recognised qualification.
Our PD program
Ten focused programs across nursing, individual support, disability, aged care and workplace safety. Each course is delivered by trainers with current industry currency and issues a Statement of Participation suitable for AHPRA CPD evidence.
