National Dementia Education and Training Standards Framework
The National Dementia Education and Training Standards Framework (NDETSF) will improve the consistency and quality in education and training. The Framework ensures that all Australians living with dementia, regardless of care setting and location, receive high-quality, evidence-based support and care that enhances their health and wellbeing.
The NDETSF was commissioned and funded by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing and developed by Dementia Training Australia.
