Dementia Australia is the peak body for people living with dementia and strives to make a profound difference in the lives of those impacted by dementia. We are also an award-winning leader in dementia education and training both here and internationally.

Building an aged care workforce that feels valued and empowered to deliver quality dementia support is essential. When staff are supported and equipped with the necessary skills, education, and resources, they foster strong workplace cultures that prioritise person-centred care.

Dementia Australia's innovative and cutting-edge training programs are designed with this mission in mind. These programs reflect decades of successful collaboration with government, the scientific community, and individuals with lived experience.

All programs align with the Aged Care Quality Standards, which are mapped throughout Dementia Australia's training guide. The exceptional training and education provided focus on individualised, person-centred support for residents and their families.

These programs help build highly practical skills that strengthen an organisation's capacity to enable individuals living with dementia to thrive. This approach not only supports the well-being of residents but also enhances staff retention, reduces serious incidents and reliance on medication, and improves organisational star ratings.

Dementia Australia offers a flexible approach to training and education through tailored learning pathways. Options include fully online, self-paced courses, workshops, virtual classrooms delivered via Teams or Zoom, face-to-face sessions, as well as mentoring, training, and coaching. The organisation collaborates with aged care providers to deliver engaging learning experiences that meet the specific needs of each workforce.

If you get it right for dementia, you get it right for everyone.
