Pre-Conference Workshops
Trauma Informed De-Escalation (TIDE)
Friday 19 March 2027 I Pan Pacific Perth
Cost: $100.00 (pre-registration is required).
TIDE focuses on training health care professionals in using trauma-informed knowledge and practice to increase de-escalation skills with the purpose of reducing violence in healthcare and social service settings and foster restorative practices.
In a single face-to-face session, participants learn practical techniques for de-escalation of clients or patients displaying distress through aggression — all through a complex trauma-informed lens. Participants practice these strategies in a safe, simulated environment, where they can build confidence in real-time behaviour escalation responses.
The TIDE training will take course over one day and uses virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to allow for a more immersive experience for those undergoing the training.

Mental Health Skills Training
Friday 19 March 2027 I Pan Pacific Perth
Cost: $550.00 (pre-registration is required).
Eligibility: GPs, Rural Generalists and Medical Practitioners
The RHW MHST is a purpose designed, interactive training workshop for General (GPs) to enhance their skills, knowledge and approach to people presenting with high prevalence mental health and alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems to primary care. The workshop has been designed with input from consumers and carers to embed and incorporate their perspectives, experiences and needs when presenting to GPs in primary care.
You will have the opportunity to learn important practical skills including;
- Identify and manage consumers who present with mental health issues experienced within the context of general practice
- Develop and review evidence-based General Practice Mental Health Treatment Plans (GPMHTPs) in consultation with consumers and carers within the context of general practice
- Incorporate perspectives and needs of consumers, their carers and others in a person’s network of support in a GPMHTP to inform subsequent care received within the context of general practice
- Use practice systems to identify local services and resources that safeguard consumer safety and assist in providing holistic mental health care to consumers with the context of general practice
- Use appropriate MBS item numbers relating to the provision of mental health care within the context of general practice
We hope this workshop will give you the confidence to deliver the highest level of care possible, and to help you overcome some of the challenges faced in resource limited settings.
