CheckUP responds to the emerging needs of the rapidly evolving health and community services sector, developing a skilled, competent and professional workforce. We have developed, coordinated, and run training programs that have varied in size and content. Our current online training programs include Going all OUT for Outreach, Access for All, Genomics for GPs, and Mental Health Skills Training (with Larter Consulting).
Access for All is an online course that aims to improve disability awareness among health providers and increases understanding about the barriers people with disability experience when accessing healthcare.
The project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services

The program was funded by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT).

The initiative was funded by Queensland Genomics. The program aims to provide relevant information about genomics medicine to assist General Practitioners in the implementation of genomics into their everyday practice.

It is designed to equip GPs, practice nurses and mental health clinicians with a toolbox of evidence-based material and techniques to allow them to practically assist patients with a broad spectrum of mental health presentations. The training is comprised of two levels.
