Education Events
As part of our ongoing commitment to ongoing General Practitioner and Health Professional education, Deakin Private Hospital holds education events throughout the year.
Upcoming event:
Youth Mental Health and Neurodivergence: A Practical Guide for General Practice
Supporting Young Adults in Your Practice
A free 1-hour CPD webinar for GPs and primary care clinicians
Young adulthood (18–25) is one of the most clinically complex periods for mental health presentations. With nearly 39% of young Australians experiencing a mental health disorder in the past 12 months, GPs are increasingly the first point of contact — and the most important one.
Join us on Wednesday 27 May for an interactive webinar designed specifically for GPs and primary care teams working with emerging adults.
What we'll cover:
- Prevalence and key trends in youth mental health across Australia
- Recognising anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use in young adults
- Assessment tools and engagement strategies for the GP consultation
- Understanding neurodivergence and co-occurring conditions
- Referral pathways and collaborative care planning
- Interactive case-based discussion and Q&A
Event details:
- Wednesday 27 May 2026
- 6:00PM AEST
- Online via Microsoft Teams
- 1 CPD hour
Who should attend: GPs, GP registrars, practice nurses, and other primary care clinicians managing young adult patients.
This webinar is free to attend. Places are limited to ensure an interactive experience.
