Standard operating procedures (SOP) provide an ability to define the steps and processes required to undertake a given activity. This can be critical in setting team expectations and to identify the requirements - such as training or coaching - needed to complete the SOP.

The self-assessment provides an overview of the elements you need to adopt wellness and reablement in your CHSP. It includes scoring to measure the current level of organisational readiness, helps to identify areas of focus or improvement, and enables a baseline to be developed for future progress.

While organisations have their own style and way of doing things, every CHSP must actively adopt wellness and reablement approaches, as this is the foundation of the broader program. This checklist helps to review how your organisation has embedded a culture supporting wellness and reablement.

This template steps out guidance on how to incrementally review, plan and deploy improvements within your CHSP organisation. Continuous improvement is cyclical and changes should be continuously reviewed and evaluated to ensure they are fit-for-purpose and will meet your organisational needs.

Designed as a practical tool to assist CHSP management teams to plan and undertake change activities within your organisation. It provides a process to systematically identify and capture change activities through a change management template and provides examples to help get started.

Provides CHSP managers with support to implement change at an organisational level to embed, review and establish continuous improvement mechanisms on wellness and reablement. The toolkit is designed for use with the Practical Guide to Embed Wellness and Reablement which focuses on service delivery.

Through questions, this template aims to develop a greater understanding of the effectiveness of service delivery techniques in shifting towards wellness and reablement by considering what worked well, if there were barriers, what were they and what could be done differently to support clients.

In developing person-centred goals for clients, there is no one-size-fits all but there are certain guiding principles that can help you develop individual goals for your clients. The SMARTA approach is demonstrated with examples for each element, including a goal-setting checklist.

A one-page document explaining the concept of wellness and reablement for CHSP support workers. It identifies eight underlying elements - or key principles - of wellness and reablement, including how these can be applied to an overall service delivery approach with their clients.

Outlines a whole-of-person approach across three key areas of wellness: mind, body, and social connectedness. Includes sample questions to gain an understanding of what is important to the client, so that with the information in the assessment, an individualised care plan can be developed.

Guidance to introduce reablement practices into everyday service delivery to help empower clients do what they can for themselves. This may involve different ways of doing a task or offering choices, which can increase confidence and motivation, in turn linking to increased social connectedness.

Sets out the principles of effective care planning and includes a checklist to step out the client requirements. For example, their circumstances, goal, actions (and who is responsible: the client, family or carer, or the service provider), the frequency of services and review dates.
