Our online training program has formed the foundation of our training in 2021; while this may continue from now on, we do hope that face-to-face training may be part of the picture in the future.  We are excited about the opportunities this may bring in terms of accessibility to our courses for providers around Australia.  

GLA:D^® Australia continues to operate as usual in all other ways: managing the registry, replying to emails and advocating for high value evidence based education and exercise delivered by clinicians.

The team at GLA:D^® Australia are committed to ensuring that GLA:D^® Clinicians are not only trained to provide the highest level of evidence-based care, but are also supported to deliver it.  As a not for profit initiative, this means we can only cater to a certain number of attendees on each course, but we will strive to increase the availability of courses where possible.

Currently, the GLA:D^® Australia clinician training course is only open to Physiotherapists registered in Australia and Accredited Exercise Physiologists practising in Australia.  Only Physiotherapists and Accredited Exercise Physiologists who have successfully completed the course can deliver the GLA:D^® Program.  

Online courses will have three modules:

• MODULE 1: Lectures – Full day
• MODULE 2: 4-hour practical session during the following week
• MODULE 3: Final 3-hour session to prepare for implementation

There is also a pre-course learning component to be completed independently prior to the course (approximately an hour).

The total number of hours of learning is 15 hours, and an attendance certificate stipulating this will be provided.

Please note that currently modules 1 and 3 are entirely on-line; module 2 may be either face-to-face or online, but all modules must be completed IN REAL TIME, IN SEQUENCE and WITHIN THE SPECIFIED COURSE BLOCK.

Face-to-face or hybrid courses may take a slightly different format, but content will remain the same.
