Altura Learning

Who we are

our mission

Our purpose is to inspire learners to improve the quality of their life and the lives of others

For us, the learner is always the hero. They make a real difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our society, and we're passionate about giving them training worthy of that role. Our video-based learning improves clinical practice, lifts engagement and retention, and keeps compliance within reach, with every course kept current and mapped to legislation. The result: learners who feel informed, confident and inspired, and organisations that stay compliant.

1980’s

Australia's first TV Training Network

In the 1980s, our founders pioneered something genuinely ahead of its time: live, interactive training delivered by satellite television. At a time when professional education still meant travelling to a venue and sitting in a room, they built Australia's first successful TV training networks - connecting doctors and pharmacists across the country in real time, wherever they were. It was a bold idea grounded in a simple belief that still drives us today: that quality education should reach people where they are, not the other way around. The technology has changed, but the founding instinct - to break down the barriers of distance and make learning accessible to everyone who needs it - remains at the heart of what we do.
1990’s

TV Programs that engage, inform, inspire. 

When they turned their focus to the care sector they had a simple vision: quality of care for older people could be transformed by making TV programs that engage care staff in learning, inform them about quality practice and inspire them to strive for better outcomes.
2009

Aged care channel (ACC TV) is launched 

When ACC was launched in Sydney back in 2003, this winning formula was enthusiastically embraced by the Australian care sector, where soon, nearly two in every three care facilities became ACC members. We’ve always been passionate about providing the best service to our members and innovating learning in the care sector. We can proudly say that giving to others has always been and will always be at the core of our DNA.
2018

Aged Care Channel becomes part of the Bolton Clarke Group

We become part of Bolton Clarke, one of Australia's most respected aged care providers. The partnership deepens our sector expertise, broadens our product offering, and opens new pathways for professional growth - grounding our work in the experience of an organisation that has shaped quality care for generations.
