Event Details
Information about free and accredited training modules for people involved in the administration of COVID-19 vaccines.
In preparation for Australia’s vaccine rollout, authorised COVID-19 vaccination providers must complete COVID-19 vaccination training. This will ensure our workforce is competent in the safe management and administration of COVID-19 vaccines.
The Australian Government has partnered with the Australian College of Nursing to develop and deliver free and accredited training modules.
The training is available for all authorised COVID-19 vaccination providers. This will include:
- health professionals in hospitals
- general practices,
- state and Commonwealth vaccination clinics
- Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations
- pharmacies.
The training is also available for non-clinical and administration staff. They can access the non-clinical modules of the training such as handling, storage and administration.
Training modules
COVID-19 vaccination training modules are categorised into 2 groups, core and additional.
Core COVID-19 modules involve training for COVID-19 vaccination more broadly. Additional COVID-19 modules are specific to individual vaccine candidates.
Core COVID-19 training modules will cover:
- COVID-19 introduction
- handling and storage
- communication and purpose
- multi-dose vial (MDV) training
- documentation and reporting
- safety and surveillance monitoring and reporting for adverse events following immunisation
Additional COVID-19 training modules include specific training for:
- Pfizer/BioNTech (module available)
- Oxford University/AstraZeneca
- Novavax
- future vaccines (i.e as possible new vaccines emerge)
Enrolling in the training
The training is being provided free to all authorised COVID-19 vaccination providers. These first modules are targeting health professionals in hospitals who will be administering the Pfizer vaccine.
Health professionals are advised to seek confirmation from their employer that they will be a vaccination provider before accessing the training.
To enrol in the course COVID-19 vaccination providers are required to:
- have already undertaken routine immunisation training specific to their profession; and
- have the authority to administer vaccinations in their relevant state and territory.
Administrative or non-clinical staff can enrol to access non-clinical modules.
Online training
All training content is delivered through an e-learning platform at no cost.

About this Event
We are pleased to offer tickets to these workshops at NO COST to participants. Your enrolment is proudly supported by the Gympie, North Burnett and Maryborough Suicide Prevention Groups and funded by the Central Queensland, Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) as part of the National Suicide Prevention Trial. Tickets to ASIST are usually $449 per person.
Suicide is preventable. Anyone can make a difference.
Attend the award-winning ASIST workshop and learn to:
- recognize people at risk of suicide,
- talk to them, hear their stories, and understand their situations, then
- help them stay safe with a life-affirming intervention.
The two-day ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshop is open to anyone 16 or older. Widely used by both professionals and the general public, ASIST offers something to every participant, no matter how experienced.
A certificate of attendance will be issued. Participants must complete the entire 2 days’ training in full. It is important that no content be missed. It is strongly recommended to clear other commitments for the training day in advance.
Why take ASIST?
LIFE-SAVING: Anyone can experience thoughts of suicide. By giving participants the skills to help friends, family members, colleagues, and clients stay alive, ASIST supports suicide-safer communities.
TRUSTED: ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention training workshop in the world. Over 100,000 people attend ASIST each year in more than 30 countries.
ENGAGING: ASIST is a dynamic, hands-on workshop that uses adult learning principles. It includes presentations, discussions, and audiovisuals, plus simulations to practice intervention skills.
PROVEN: ASIST works. A major 2013 study showed that the ASIST intervention process significantly reduces thoughts of suicide and helps people at risk feel more hopeful about living.

Event Details
The majority of Australians now have the choice of an electronic prescription instead of a paper prescription. Over 3.5 million electronic prescriptions and repeat prescriptions have already been generated by prescribers and dispensers across Australia.
In February 2021, the first ever pharmacies began testing the Active Script List (ASL). The ASL is a list of all active prescriptions and repeats available to be dispensed. For those patients who want to use an ASL, this will in future remove the need to retain their electronic prescription tokens. Availability of ASL across community pharmacy will increase from April, and improved ASL functionality through consumer applications will progress over 2021.
Join the Australian Digital Health Agency at this webinar to learn more about the roll-out of the Active Script List and what you need to know to assist your patients’ access to their medicines via the ASL. During this session, we will explain how patients can register for an ASL at their community pharmacy and how general practices can add electronic prescriptions to the ASL. We will explain how the ASL fits in with other electronic prescription management options available to patients so that you can easily assist them with any queries during your consultations. All registrants will be provided with instructions for how to access supporting resource materials to communicate this new functionality to your patients.
This webinar is open to all general practice staff members.

Most Australians nominate home as their preferred place for end-of-life care. General Practitioners (GPs) are essential to this outcome. GPs play the critical role of proactively recognising and planning for impending end of life, as well as ensuring appropriate prescriptions and medicine orders are available.
Queensland Health has commissioned palliPharm to increase capacity in community-based aged care palliative care. As part of palliPharm, CPD accredited educational workshops are being conducted to upskill GPs and pharmacists on end of life, palliative care and anticipatory medicines to ensure patients receive optimal symptom management at home. Workshops will be conducted around Queensland.
Workshops will:
- Equip GPs with up-to-date knowledge concerning the end-of-life journey, understanding of pharmacological management for palliative symptoms and new resources available to support community palliative patients
- Encourage collaboration between GPs and pharmacists
- Attract 4 QI & CPD points from RACGP or 2 PDP hours from ACRRM
- Be facilitated by Proj LIz Reymond and other specialist palliative care staff from the Metro South Palliative Care Service.
Workshop dates and registrations:
Virtual workshops will be offered until May 2021 and there is no registration fee to attend these events.

Event Details
Up to 80% of adolescents have experienced trauma and one-in-seven suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a chronic, debilitating psychiatric disorder.
For 50% of these adolescents, the course of their illness is further complicated by a co-occurring substance use disorder, which often develops from repeated self-medication of PTSD symptoms.
The reality is that once established, both disorders serve to maintain and exacerbate each other, leading to extensive social, educational, physical and psychological impairments that lead to a chronic course of illness.
Therefore, it is imperative to intervene early to prevent the severe and long-lasting burden associated with this common comorbidity.
This research-based webinar will present, in an hour format, an overview of the current evidence regarding integrated treatment options available for co-occurring PTSD and substance use, plus promising new early interventions for adolescents.
Key topics of this webinar:
- The relationship between substance use and PTSD and the consequences of its combined effects.
- The shift away from traditional sequential models of treatment towards integrated models that treat both disorders simultaneously.
- How new integrated exposure-based psychotherapies work for people with this comorbidity.
- What is the role of early intervention and what difference can make in this context?
- How adolescents respond to integrated exposure-based therapy at the moment.
Key learning outcomes:
- Greater understanding of the research association between PTSD and substance abuse disorders.
- Deeper understanding of the current burden of PTSD and substance use disorders.
- Enhanced ability to recognise and identity with the lived experience of PTSD and substance use, its social, economic, emotional and wellbeing impacts and how these might present in a clinical setting.
- Greater confidence in applying novel, evidence-based psychotherapies in ‘real world settings’ for people with co-morbidities.
- Pre-planning and preparedness for the emergence of new research currently under way in the field.

Perhaps you are familiar with the Neighbourhood Watch movement to combat criminal activity. Because it was impossible to have a police station in every street corner, the community was activated into what is now called the Neighbourhood Watch.
Building compassionate communities follows the same principle. It is impossible to have hospices built in every suburb, hence the community will be mobilised to do our bit for the frail and elderly who lives alone, people with life limiting illnesses and for people who are grieving. They are not on their own. They are part of us. We have the responsibility to do our bit for them as a community.
Compassionate Communities is a globally recognised whole of community approach to improving the end-of-life experience for people by mobilising local networks, groups and services to be more conscious, aware and equipped to offer support.

About this Event
We are pleased to offer tickets to these workshops at NO COST to participants. Your enrolment is proudly supported by the Gympie, North Burnett and Maryborough Suicide Prevention Groups and funded by the Central Queensland, Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) as part of the National Suicide Prevention Trial. Tickets to ASIST are usually $449 per person.
Suicide is preventable. Anyone can make a difference.
Attend the award-winning ASIST workshop and learn to:
- recognize people at risk of suicide,
- talk to them, hear their stories, and understand their situations, then
- help them stay safe with a life-affirming intervention.
The two-day ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshop is open to anyone 16 or older. Widely used by both professionals and the general public, ASIST offers something to every participant, no matter how experienced.
A certificate of attendance will be issued. Participants must complete the entire 2 days’ training in full. It is important that no content be missed. It is strongly recommended to clear other commitments for the training day in advance.
Why take ASIST?
LIFE-SAVING: Anyone can experience thoughts of suicide. By giving participants the skills to help friends, family members, colleagues, and clients stay alive, ASIST supports suicide-safer communities.
TRUSTED: ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention training workshop in the world. Over 100,000 people attend ASIST each year in more than 30 countries.
ENGAGING: ASIST is a dynamic, hands-on workshop that uses adult learning principles. It includes presentations, discussions, and audiovisuals, plus simulations to practice intervention skills.
PROVEN: ASIST works. A major 2013 study showed that the ASIST intervention process significantly reduces thoughts of suicide and helps people at risk feel more hopeful about living.

Program Outline:
Health professionals often play a central role in the provision of healthcare to communities in the immediate, acute phase of emergency situations and, on an ongoing basis for the long-term recovery of individuals and their broader community. Emergency Service Workers are one of the high-risk groups for trauma exposure and are at a high risk of developing mental health problems. These mental health conditions have significant impact on their employment, family/relationships, and wellbeing.
This workshop has been designed to assist GPs and other health professionals to diagnose patients with acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and other co morbidities. Evidence based guidelines will be used as the foundation to appropriately diagnose and identify treatment pathways including recommended referrals, trauma focused psychological therapy and psychological first aid to help support their management of emergency service workers.
This training aims to increase participants’ skills and confidence to:
- Understand the relationship between traumatic events and the development of mental health conditions
- Identify evidence-based treatment and referral pathways for a patient impacted by trauma
- Recommend evidence-based resources, including e-Mental Health, for family/kinship groups impacted by trauma
Accreditation:
Pending approval with the RACGP and ACRRM

What is the latest evidence on the impacts of Methamphetamine use on mental health? What strategies and treatments are now being recommended?
The use of methamphetamine (including crystal methamphetamine or ‘ice’) and related harms continues to be the subject of growing concern in Australia, with Australians rating it the drug of most concern in the latest National Drug Strategy Household Survey (2019).
In this 1-hour live webinar you will hear first-hand from presenters with research, clinical and lived experience about the current methamphetamine ‘picture’ and how methamphetamine use can lead to mental health symptoms, and what it means for clinical practice.
Key topics of this webinar:
- The short- and long-term effects of methamphetamine use and how it works in the brain.
- Interactions between methamphetamine and other substances like alcohol.
- Barriers to care and the role of stigma for people who use methamphetamine (in particular ‘ice’).
- Relationship between methamphetamine use and problems with sleep, anxiety and depression and psychosis (e.g. co-occurring conditions).
Key learning outcomes:
- Appreciation of the comprehensive data picture of methamphetamine prevalence in Australia.
- Greater understanding and symptom recognition of both short and long term effects of methamphetamine use on the brain and on mental health.
- Improved strategies on how to address stigma and its tangible effects on help-seeking and treatments.
