Port Douglas QLD
Resilience in Practice - July 2027
All Health Professionals
Immerse yourself in the tropical beauty of Port Douglas — from pristine beaches to ancient rainforests and exceptional food — while gaining practical skills to support your own wellbeing, reconnect to self, and enjoy reflective, restorative learning.
Self-Care is now a Core Competency for Doctors and Psychologists, however few courses discuss the systems effect of working in such strained contexts. We move beyond the basics and teach strategies that clarify purpose and show you how to practice sustainably despite these challenges.
