Aged care in Australia is changing for the better.
Training is now available to support the sector through these changes.
New Aged Care Act training
There will be four e-learning modules for providers and workers on the new Act. Each module takes 20–30 minutes to complete. They cover:
- understanding and adapting to the new system – available now
- aligning to key changes – available in June
- embedding best practice in the new system – available in August
- reflecting and adjusting – available in December.
You can access the training, along with a range of other resources including readiness checklists and transition guides, on the department’s website.
Training for older people, their families and carers
There are also separate e-learning modules to explain the new Act to older people, their families and carers. Older people can complete the training through either the link on the department’s website or the OPAN website.
The training for older people can also be downloaded as a document and may be used as a resource for a facilitated conversation about the changes, for those who would prefer to not do the training online.
