Customised Courses

Professional development is an important issue in today's workforce. However, time and budget constraints can often affect ongoing training for staff. To cater for this, the Institute offers an extensive number of customized courses - we can come to you!

Who can the Institute train off site? Area Health Services, government, non-government and private sector organisations can access our services. The Institute can conduct programs at a range of levels from brief introductory workshops to intensive theoretical and clinical skills training to postgraduate level courses for health, community and medical professionals.

Where can the Institute go? The Institute is able to provide high quality customized courses anywhere in New South Wales and Australia. We have delivered training from Darwin to Tasmania, Thursday Island and Broken Hill, Townsville to Adelaide as well as local metropolitan and rural sites.

What type of training can be provided? Presenters can be dispatched to sites to run face-to-face workshops, or education programs can be designed using distance education methods including video-conferencing, print-based learning packages and CD-Rom or a combination of delivery modes. All courses are thoroughly evaluated by trainers and participants.
