Clinical Education

At Kalkoup Community Care, we believe that when families, schools, and organisations are equipped with the right clinical knowledge, children and young adults thrive. Our nurse-led clinical education programs are designed not to replace, but to strengthen the incredible work already happening across the community.

​

We proudly deliver inclusive, evidence-based training in areas such as tracheostomy care, seizure management, spinal cord injury support, skin and pressure care, enteral feeding, incontinence management, wound care, and more.Whether you are a parent, educator, support worker, or provider agency, our goal is collaboration, not competition. Together, we are building a stronger, safer, and more informed care network for children and young people with complex needs.

​

Why Clinical Education Matters

For Schools and Education Settings

Every day, students attend school with feeding tubes, seizure conditions, or complex medical needs. Without the right knowledge, teachers and support staff may feel unsure or unsafe about providing care.

​

Our training helps schools to:

• Safely support students with PEGs, tracheostomies, seizures, and more

• Respond confidently to both routine and emergency care needs

• Reduce fear around medical conditions and make classrooms more inclusive

• Meet duty of care and compliance requirements

• Minimise avoidable school absences and encourage student participation

 

​​For Families

Families are often discharged from hospital with a stack of medical instructions but little time to ask questions. This can feel overwhelming.

​

Our programs give families the chance to:

• Understand complex care such as enteral feeding, stoma care, and seizure response

• Build confidence at home and reduce anxiety

• Prevent unnecessary hospitalisations by recognising early warning signs

• Advocate for appropriate NDIS funding and supports

• Create consistency between home, school, and support staff

​​

For Organisations and Allied Health Teams

Allied health providers and disability organisations need practical, hands-on training to protect both their clients and their teams.

​

We help organisations to:

• Upskill in high-intensity daily activities such as wound care, PEG feeding, and tracheostomy management

• Improve clinical reporting to support therapy goals and NDIS reviews

• Prevent incidents by recognising early clinical red flags

• Reduce staff turnover by equipping workers with the confidence and skills they need

• Deliver consistent, high-quality care across the multidisciplinary team

​​

For Support Workers

Support workers are on the frontline of daily care, yet many receive little or no clinical training. That gap creates unnecessary risk.

​

Our nurse-led education empowers support workers to:

• Provide safe, confident care during daily routines and community activities

• Handle feeding pumps, stomas, PEGs, and seizure support with skill

• Recognise when to escalate clinical concerns

• Strengthen their career opportunities through advanced skills training

• Build trust with families who need assurance that their child is in safe hands
