HealthStaffEd Clinical Library

Specialist training for aged care, healthcare and NDIS organisations.

Written by Joey Halbert

The HealthStaffEd Clinical Library is available as an add-on to Tribal Habits plans. These topics are created and maintained by HealthStaffEd, not by Tribal Habits, and cover clinical training mapped to the 2025 Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards.

How this library differs from the core Tribal Habits library:

  • HealthStaffEd topics are not editable. They cannot be copied or modified — they are available as linked imports only. Your portal branding is still applied.

  • Content updates are managed by HealthStaffEd. When standards or legislation change, they update the modules.

  • For more info please contact us at [email protected].
