The Coolibah Care’s training hub in Mandurah — a contemporary facility designed to enhance the skills of staff and students in the aged care industry — is now officially open.
Coolibah Care has redeveloped its existing training space into a modern hub, facilitating both practical and online learning and providing staff and students with a suitable and positive learning environment to enhance their skills and knowledge.
The training hub is anticipated to service Coolibah’s 240 staff, Registered Nursing students from Murdoch University and students from the registered training organisation Skills Strategies International Mandurah.
WA Regional Development Minister Don Punch said: “The launch of Coolibah Care’s redeveloped training hub marks a significant step in addressing staff and student educational needs and enhancing specialised care skills within a modern training facility.
“With increased service demands and workforce challenges in the aged care sector, especially in the Mandurah area, providers can benefit from offering enhanced employment benefits and well-equipped training facilities to attract and retain staff.”
Established in 1969, Coolibah Care is a not-for-profit independent aged care provider operating in the Mandurah area and servicing the Peel region.
The project was supported by a $100,000 Regional Economic Development (RED) Grant.
