Frequently asked questions

Is dementia care training mandatory in aged care?
Not universally, but the Aged Care Quality Standards (Standard 3 — Personal care and clinical care) require staff to have the skills and knowledge to provide appropriate care for residents with cognitive impairment. Most employers require dementia training as a result.
How long is dementia care training valid?
Best practice is 2–3 years. Some employers require annual refreshers.
