Education
Professional development for healthcare providers
Ongoing education is critical to meet the health needs of our Western and Far Western communities. We are dedicated to supporting you, our healthcare professionals, by providing high-quality and locally accessible professional development opportunities.
Our goal is to help you enhance your primary health skills, stay current with industry advancements and to feel empowered to meet community needs.
Who we support
Our education program is specifically designed to support you, no matter your role within the healthcare system. We offer training opportunities for:
- GPs and GP Registrars
- Nurses and Nurse Practitioners
- Aboriginal Health Workers and Practitioners
- Allied Health Professionals
We provide both multidisciplinary and profession-specific training tailored to the local needs of primary healthcare providers in our region.
How we plan education
To ensure our programs are valuable, we conduct an annual survey to identify the specific learning needs of healthcare providers across our region. We want to hear from you at any time about emerging learning needs, helping us to develop programs that truly support your professional growth.
Education opportunities
We provide a range of accredited CPD sessions and professional development opportunities including:
RACGP and ACRRM-accredited activities
In-person and virtual formats
Locally delivered sessions with visiting specialists
Education tailored to our rural and regional context
Our aim is to help you strengthen clinical knowledge, support your professional growth, and enhance referral pathways across primary care. Whether you’re after targeted professional development or broader education, we have resources to support your practice.
Education partnerships
We continually explore opportunities to collaborate with external organisations to make our education program even richer and more diverse. If you’d like to partner with us to deliver a healthcare education event in Western and Far West NSW, we’d love to hear from you.
