“For the first time I am learning about the salutogenic approach and I am delighted. It’s changing my perception of the person’s wellbeing.

Thank you. These online courses are amazing.”

Alia G, Physician

Salutogenesis, DTA's Salutogenic Approach to dementia care

“I have completed several online courses with Dementia Training Australia and I have successfully integrated what I have learned into my role as a carer within a facility, as well as in my capacity as a trainer and assessor.”

“These courses are wonderful and I recommend them to everyone who is in the role of a carer in a facility or in the community. They are easy to understand and, as they are short courses, they aren’t time-consuming and the information is invaluable.“

Allison, Assistant in Nursing, Trainer and Assessor
