KCAT - Kidney Check Australia Taskforce 

KCAT (Kidney Check Australia Taskforce) is Kidney Health Australia’s Heath Professional Education program. KCAT was established in 2001 with the aim of improving health outcomes for Australians with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). KCAT activities are governed by an expert committee, which comprises prominent kidney specialists, health professionals, educators and consumers.

The major initiative of KCAT to date has been the development and implementation of a series of world class education modules for Australian Health Professionals. These modules are run as interactive learning sessions aiming to improve the knowledge, detection and management of kidney disease in general practice.

All KCAT modules are Accredited with RACGP QI&CPD program and ACRRM  PDP program. Kidney Health Australia also has RCNA authorised provider of endorsed courses status, subsequently our educational activities also attract RCNA CNE points.

KCAT continues to be the leading voice in kidney education in Australia. We are the only organisation offering comprehensive education on kidney disease to health professionals.


KCAT workshops are offered FREE to Divisions of General Practice and other interested organisations throughout Australia.
