Every Nurse's Business

Welcome to the Continued Professional Development (CPD) programme and online learning site for Australian Registered Nurses to help build nursing capacity to address the healthcare needs of people with intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism (ASD) in mainstream health settings.

The learning site is separated into different learning levels and covers six domains (modules) of content including:

1. care imperatives
2. communication to individuals with ASD and/or ID
3. understanding communication from individuals with ASD and/or ID
4. environments of care
5. supporting positive behaviour, making things go well
6. introduction to the NDIS

There are 3 levels of course available to take on this site:

• Foundational: A depository of foundational learning content (tiles, explainers, and videos) under the six domains that you may have previously viewed through membership of your professional nursing body is available online. You can self-enrol in the course to take part in a short quiz to claim hours for this level of CPD.
  
• Intermediate: By registering on this learning site you have already been enrolled in the intermediate course. This content involves blocks of learning and a variety of information, videos, vignettes, interviews, activities, and further reading under the six domains. Following completion of the six intermediate modules, you can take part in a short quiz to claim hours for this level of CPD.
• Advanced: The advanced level will build upon your learnings in foundational and intermediate. You have to complete the intermediate course to access the advanced course.
