Telehealth training

A comprehensive online training package for the delivery of telehealth in aged care has been developed by a group of 15 Primary Health Networks (PHNs) from across Australia. The package, which is supported by case studies and resources, aims to assist by creating an evidence-based telehealth service for aged care residents, covering setup, governance, management and use, and different models of telehealth care such as wound care, case conferencing and geriatric consultations. Each module has closed captions and is around six minutes in length, to fit into busy days. Best of all it is free to access.

For residential aged care (32 modules)

This training stream is for onsite staff and clinicians working inside aged care homes, including personal care workers, nurses, specialists, managers and other staff. To register and access the training, click here to go to the ALIS platform.

For remote clinical workers (30 modules)

This training stream is for remote-end clinicians and other health professionals providing medical, health and wellbeing services to the aged care sector, practicing offsite, such as GPs, medical specialists and allied health professionals like counsellors, dietitians and physiotherapists. These modules are also accredited for educational hours for GPs and nurses. To register and access the training, click here to go to the ALIS platform.

Murray PHN acknowledges its catchment crosses over many unceded First Nations Countries, following the Dhelkunya Yaluk (Healing River).

We pay our respects and give thanks to the Ancestors, Elders and Young people for their nurturing, protection and caregiving of these sacred lands and waterways, acknowledging their continuing cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

We are grateful for the sharing of Country and the renewal that Country gives us. We acknowledge and express our sorrow that this sharing has come at a personal, spiritual and cultural cost to the wellbeing of First Nations peoples. We commit to addressing the injustices of colonisation across our catchment, and to listening to the wisdom of First Nations communities who hold the knowledge to enable healing. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
