Atitjere and Engawala Aged Care Training

Atitjere and Engawala Aged Care staff are currently completing a certificate II in Family Wellbeing with Batchelor. The training, taking place at Engawala and Atitjere, is a program that addresses the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues that impact on an individual’s wellbeing, family unity and community harmony.

Through the certificate, staff will gain knowledge on how to face their own personal issues and to help others in community when help is needed, especially Aged Care clients.

It will also open a pathway to higher level qualifications in Aged Care for the staff.

Staff have already completed the training at Lajamanu and Anmatjere, and Yuelamu will be next.
