Who does staff training for disability and aged care providers?

Every provider and workforce is different. Skills Centre Australia offers a range of flexible training options to suit your operational requirements, workforce size and staff development needs.

Choose from face-to-face practical training, small-group sessions, online learning, refresher training and tailored workplace training, with options suitable for both individual staff members and larger provider teams.

From foundational support worker skills through to clinical and high intensity support training for complex care needs, our goal is simple: your staff should leave training with more than a certificate.

They should leave knowing what to do, why it matters and feeling confident enough to do it safely.

Caring for a family member or loved one can mean suddenly having to understand a medical condition, manage new care needs or learn practical skills you may never have needed before.

Skills Centre Australia offers practical training for family carers, helping you better understand your loved one’s condition, their changing needs and how you can support them safely and confidently at home and in the community.

Whether you’re learning about Dementia, Autism, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, Palliative Care or developing practical care skills such as personal care, medication support, catheter care, bowel and stoma care, our experienced clinical trainers can help make complex information easier to understand and apply.

With small class sizes, personalised guidance and hands-on practical training, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, practise skills and build confidence in a supportive learning environment.

You don’t need to be a healthcare professional to benefit from our training. Whether you have recently become a carer, your loved one’s needs are changing, or you simply want to better understand their condition, we can help give you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to feel better prepared for the care journey ahead.

Our online courses are designed to make professional development simple, flexible and accessible, allowing support workers, carers and care professionals to build their knowledge at a time and pace that suits them.

On successful completion, participants receive their certificate the same day, providing immediate evidence of completed training for personal records, employers and workforce training records.

Our online courses are developed around real-world disability, aged care and community care environments, helping participants strengthen their knowledge and better understand the conditions, risks and responsibilities they may encounter in their role.

For selected clinical courses, online learning can also form the theoretical foundation for practical, face-to-face training, giving participants the opportunity to progress from understanding the knowledge to developing and demonstrating hands-on skills and competency.

More than completing a course, our focus is on helping people understand what they’ve learned and feel confident applying that knowledge in the real world.

First Aid, CPR and Manual Handling courses include a mandatory face-to-face practical component, which must be successfully completed before certification can be issued.
