Eastern Australia Dementia Training and Study Centre

Who We Are

The Eastern Australia Dementia Training and Study Centre (EADTSC) has been established as part of the Australian Government’s Dementia Initiative.

The EADTSC is one of four Centres nationally that promote dementia studies in Australian graduate and undergraduate curriculum as well as providing tertiary dementia career pathways.

The EADTSC supports coordination and promotional activities that will raise the profile of dementia studies, focusing on the development and support of specialist dementia education and training opportunities and increase the number of health professionals competent in this area, including nurses, medical practitioners, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, indigenous health workers, psychologists, social workers, and population health students.

The EADTSC is led by the University of Wollongong in partnership with Queensland University of Technology, Griffith University, Hammond Care Group, UnitingCare Ageing, Blue Care, and RSL Care.
