Dizziness is a common and distressing condition in primary care. A systematic approach to the condition can differentiate between causes and guide interventions and potential investigations and referral pathways. Matt Croger (physiotherapist) together with Capital Health Network invite health care practitioners to a webinar which explores common causes of dizziness including cervicogenic dizziness, post-concussion syndrome and benign positional vertigo. The webinar will also touch on rarer aetiologies such as Meniere’s disease, and CNS lesions.

Primary health care professionals, including allied health professionals, play an important role in prevention, early identification and responding to disclosures of Domestic and Family Violence (DFV).
Capital Health Network (CHN) – ACT’s Primary Health Network (PHN) and Domestic Violence Crisis Service (DVCS) invite allied health professionals to attend our Trauma-informed Primary Care Response to Domestic and Family Violence training, developed as part of the Supporting Primary Care Sector Response to Family, Domestic, Sexual Violence, and Child Sexual Abuse (FDSV) Program. This activity is supported by funding from the ACT PHN through the Australian Government’s PHN Program.
The program aims to support primary health care professionals in recognising and responding to early signs of FDSV by offering free, tailored and trauma-informed training and resources. Central to this initiative are Link Workers, embedded within specialist organisations such as DVCS, who play a pivotal role in facilitating the coordination of referrals, improving integration between primary care and the FDSV sector, and enhancing service navigation for victim-survivors.
