This two-day workshop will give you the skills you need to provide quality dementia care and support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with dementia, their families and community.

Suitable for health and allied health professionals, aged and community care coordinators, health students and others working with older people and people with dementia.

About the workshop:

Dementia is acknowledged as a significant issue for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote communities. Recent studies indicate a prevalence rate of up to five times more than in the non-Indigenous population.

Primary health care and related workers from rural, remote and Indigenous communities require a clear understanding of dementia, and the skills and strategies to assess and assist both the person with dementia and their family in managing their dementia.

This workshop will give you the skills you need to provide quality dementia care and support.

There is no cost for this 2-day workshop.  Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided.
