Professional Development

We provide professional development and training opportunities to our members. Members benefit from industry specific, value for money training courses – covering topics that are relevant to our members. Our general meetings also provide members with an opportunity to network and discuss ideas with other industry professionals.

Our General Meetings

We hold four general meetings each year at member locations throughout metropolitan Melbourne and country locations. Meeting topics include industry trends, development of positioning statements for discussion with the Department of Health, compliance, regulatory controls, training, industrial relations, operational and business management issues. Members are invited to attend these meetings and comprehensive minutes are circulated to all members after each meeting.

Our Training courses

We offer a variety of courses specifically designed to suit the needs of our members. If we do not have the course you are looking for, please let us know and we will do all we can to support your needs.
