4 hours CPD.

This four-hour module focuses on care of people who come to Victoria as refugees or asylum seekers. It has been created by EACH refugee health.
Each year approximately 4000 refugees settle in this state. There are also thousands of people seeking asylum living in the community. A significant number of these people live in rural and regional Victoria. It is therefore highly likely that in your
