Webinar – High quality care

The new Aged Care Act describes what high quality care looks like, but how are we going to achieve that in practice? What regulatory levers do we have to bring that definition to life? In the latest OPAN webinar, our panel of experts will explore the strengths and limitations of the Statement of Rights and strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and the equal importance of clinical and psychosocial support.

Panel:

• Loren deVries, Senior Practitioner, Behaviour Support and Restrictive Practices Unit, Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission
• Chris Atmore, Policy and Advocacy Senior Advisor, Allied Health Professions Australia
• Robin Vote, Member, OPAN’s National Older Persons Reference Group
