Training College

Alzheimer’s WA is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 4755) with decades of experience in educating and training the health care professionals and front line teams who work with those living with dementia. 

We believe dementia is a human experience rather than just a biological condition. 

 

Our philosophy of care is rooted in a commitment to a person-centred approach and practice. This is reflected in all of our education and training. 

Our highly professional educators are all qualified and have vast and varied experience in providing support to people living with dementia and their families in either community, hospital or residential settings.
