Diversity education

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.

Further information

The following modules will be covered:

  • Module 1Understanding your community
    Using stakeholders/data to understand your community, collecting information from older people about their identity.
  • Module 2: Promoting service accessibility
    Individual, organisational and cultural/ social influences, barriers to service access and their impact on older people.
  • Module 3: Opportunities to act
    Eight areas to target in relation to Aged Care Quality and Safety Standards.
  • Module 4: The diversity planning process
