Community members interested in developing their skills and confidence in palliative care are invited to attend free online non-clinical training.
The Palliative Care Online Training Portal offers interactive training for family members, carers, community and aged care workers, students and volunteers who want to build their knowledge in caring for someone with a life-limiting illness.
The modules are written in plain English and use interactive activities, video case studies, and easy-to-understand examples.
The website recently received a significant update, providing increased functionality for mobile users, making it easy to access the training via a smartphone.
The free training is designed for the Australian health context, and is available to participants by simply creating an account and logging in.
Module completion certificates can be used to gain recognition of prior learning from accredited training organisations to help with progression to a formal qualification for those interested in following this career path.
