The Catheter Insertion Program is designed for enrolled and registered nurses looking to gain practical skills in indwelling (IDC) and suprapubic catheter (SPC) insertion and replacement. Developed by clinical nurse educators, the course includes online theory, a hands-on workshop using male and female anatomical models, competency assessments, and a Certificate of Completion. It aligns with AHPRA standards and supports facility compliance.
What sets this program apart is that it’s delivered by nurses actively working in community care through Fortify Health Group. Open to individuals and organisations, with group discounts available, the training ensures nurses are confident, competent, and ready to apply their skills in real-world settings.

Our program offers a range of benefits that make it an essential addition to any healthcare setting. It significantly enhances patient safety, as proper training in IDC (Indwelling Catheter) and SPC (Suprapubic Catheter) insertion reduces the risk of complications such as infection or trauma. With this training, nurses become more confident and competent, leading to higher-quality care and better patient outcomes. The program also boosts staff morale, promoting greater job satisfaction and lower turnover.
Importantly, it helps your facility meet regulatory standards required by bodies such as the NDIS and aged care authorities. By improving team efficiency, nurses can carry out procedures more effectively, allowing more time for patient-focused care. Training also fosters collaborative communication among staff, encouraging the sharing of best practices and experiences.
Additionally, this course supports continuous professional development, empowering nurses with current knowledge and techniques that directly benefit aged care residents, whose medical needs are often complex. With a strong emphasis on infection control, the program equips staff to protect vulnerable populations from healthcare-associated infections. Ultimately, participation in this training demonstrates a facility’s commitment to excellence, enhancing its reputation among residents, families, and the wider community.

Hi, I’m Merike.
I am a passionate and dedicated occupational therapist who completed my studies at the University of the Free State, South Africa. My journey in this field began during my Community Service year at a local clinic, where I gained experience in paediatrics, physical rehabilitation, and mental health. I transitioned to private practice, where I further enhanced my skills in physical rehabilitation, mental health, vocational rehabilitation, and hand therapy.
After moving to Australia, I expanded my expertise by working as an NDIS provider, supporting both paediatric and adult clients. This experience allowed me to make a meaningful impact on individuals with diverse needs, empowering them to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
I believe every individual has the right to a meaningful and fulfilling life, regardless of their capacity or potential. With a strong sense of responsibility and an eagerness to continually learn, I strive to provide compassionate, dignified care that empowers individuals to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
Occupational therapy is more than a profession to me; it is a way to help people discover their strengths, regain function, and find purpose. Witnessing clients master new skills, regain independence, and experience an improved quality of life is the most rewarding part of my work.
Known for being friendly, empathetic, and caring, I am deeply committed to fostering connections within the community and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive.
