Home Care: The strengthened Quality Standards - Preparing for the changes
2025-10-07 13:00 - 14:30, 2025-10-22 09:30 - 11:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
Free online live-learning session delivered by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.
A facilitated session which supports managers, educators and leaders from Australian government-funded home services providers to consider the requirements of the strengthened Quality Standards (the Standards) in the context of a real-life scenario.
The session uses a detailed case study to explore the application of the Standards and key considerations for providers. While specific Outcomes and Actions are considered as part of the case study, we will not be discussing the application of the Standards to individual service settings. The session does not cover all the Outcomes and Actions of the Standards, but draws on key elements relevant to the case study as an example of how providers might consider their obligations. The session provides opportunities to discuss approaches and ideas with other participants.
