From General Practice to Every Industry: Why Open Skills Training Australia Is Your Free Staff Training Solution
The way your staff behave, communicates, and follows policies affects your business every day. Mistakes can lead to legal problems, safety risks, or a loss of trust. Staff training helps you avoid those problems—and improve performance at the same time.
We originally built our training for general practices and healthcare clinics. However, over time, we realised that the same problems exist in aged care, hospitality, retail, administration, and small business. So we expanded.
Today, Open Skills Training Australia offers free, practical training that is applicable across all industries. Every course is online, self-paced, and comes with an instant certificate.
Our Journey: From Clinics to a National Training Platform
We started by supporting GPs, nurses, and receptionists with targeted training for healthcare settings. Topics like infection control, privacy, and zero tolerance were essential—but they weren’t just for clinics.
Over time, we observed that these exact training needs also arose in other industries. It became clear that staff in any setting—from retail and aged care to admin and customer service—needed better access to reliable, plain-English training.
So we opened the doors to everyone. No matter your field, if you need clear, trustworthy staff training, you can now get it—for free.
Why Untrained Staff Are a Risk
If your staff aren’t trained, you take on more risk:
- Legal exposure: A single privacy breach or safety failure can result in complaints, fines, or severe legal action.
- Mistakes and delays: Untrained workers are more likely to make errors and waste time.
- Reputation damage: A single poor interaction can spread online and negatively impact your brand.
- Lower team morale: Staff who don’t feel confident or supported are more likely to leave.
- Accreditation problems: In many sectors, documented training is a requirement.
Training isn’t optional. It protects your business and supports your people.
