This three-part workshop series is available to all aged care providers. It employs local, evidence-based resources to help you understand what you are doing right, and what you can do better.
Successful diversity planning requires a whole organisation approach. Everyone plays a role – from the board and executive leaders to unpaid volunteers.
The design, delivery and evaluation of services is a crucial part of this process. That’s why our training is aimed at the people in your organisation who are responsible for quality improvement, service planning and/or compliance.
Planning for Diversity helps you to:
- differentiate your service to better engage older people and families from diverse groups
- identify and address barriers for older people in your aged care planning region who would like to access your services but are missing out
- demonstrate you are working towards Aged Care Quality Standards and your commitment to the Charter of Aged Care Rights
- identify specific actions and embed diversity within Continuous Improvement Processes.
