Choose a mode of learning that works for your individual needs or meet the requirements of your team if you book on behalf of an organisation. We offer learning face-to-face, online via our virtual classroom – or a combination of both.

Unlike traditional webinars, our virtual classrooms are interactive allowing for active participation. They can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, using a desktop PC, laptop or tablet device. Education can be delivered across multiple sites and locations while maintaining social distancing.

This course is highly structured, combining theory and practical components for an engaging learning experience. Participants receive ongoing support from experienced facilitators throughout the program.

Learn about:

  • person-centred care
  • the nature of dementia
  • effective communication
  • impact of dementia
  • activities for engagement
  • identifying elder abuse and restrictive practices
  • understanding changed behaviour and developing effective responses
  • creating supportive environments.

Eligible participants must be working with people living with dementia in a professional capacity to complete the workplace assessment requirements.

This is a Dementia Training Australia (DTA) course, funded by the Australian Government under the Dementia and Aged Care Services Fund and delivered by Dementia Australia (RTO Code 2512). For more information about DTA, please visit dta.com.au
