What we are good at …
We are passionate about the quality of our programs.
Recognising that few people can be experts in all areas, we contract qualified and experienced professionals who are recognised experts in their chosen fields and who have the ability to share their knowledge.
Our long standing reputation means we are able to attract nationally and internationally renowned professionals such as Prof. David Ames, Prof. Geri R Hall (USA) and Dr Rosalie Hudson to facilitate our programs.
Whether you work in the community, a hospital, in residential aged care or a respite organisation, we are sure to have continuing professional development programs to meet your needs – if not we can develop a custom program for you.
