The Clinical Academy is a new online portal designed to support the professional development of clinical caregivers across St John of God Health Care.
With many caregivers working varied shifts, attending in-person training can be challenging. Yet, ongoing education is essential to delivering safe, high-quality, person-centred care aligned with our Mission.
That’s why the St John of God Health Care Clinical Academy was established. It is a flexible, self-paced online learning platform available 24/7. It empowers caregivers to grow professionally in ways that suit their schedules and learning styles, nurturing excellence across our hospitals for the benefit of caregivers and, most importantly, our patients.
Developed in collaboration with clinical leaders, educators and strategy teams, and supported by Maxxia, The Clinical Academy reflects real-world needs. Content is practical, evidence-based and shaped by nursing, allied health and workforce experts.
Initial learning opportunities will focus on:
- registered and enrolled nurses
- assistants in nursing/patient care assistants
- allied health professionals across 10 disciplines
Over the next 12 to 24 months, the platform will expand to include more clinical disciplines, leadership and research pathways, and partnerships with tertiary institutions. Our aim is to become a centre of excellence for caregiver education. By investing in our caregivers, we enhance the quality of care and ensure St John of God Health Care remains a place where skilled, compassionate professionals choose to work.
