Foundation learning
The Centre for Dementia Learning provides evidence-based professional development to improve the practices of healthcare workers. The professional development workshops have been developed based on the most popular learning resources from across Australia, and are underpinned by an evidenced based, contemporary approach to dementia support.
The three hour workshops, facilitated by our expert team, can be delivered onsite and can contribute towards continual professional development points.
