Respondents reported a need for training across various topics, including social and emotional well\u2010being (47%), grief and loss (45%), trauma\u2010informed care (43%) and healthy ageing (41%). Almost all respondents (99%) agreed or strongly agreed that training was important for skill development and delivering quality care. However, 40% reported not having received training specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in aged care. There was strong consensus on the importance of various training topics, with most respondents rating them as\n                      <jats:italic>Extremely Important.<\/jats:italic>\n                      The two main barriers to participating in training were time constraints (59%) and the availability of training (47%).
