Fellow Sector Support and Development Providers - Southern Metro Region Sector Support and Development / Bayside - are delivering Diversity and Wellness in Strengthened Quality Standards webinars.

Diversity and Wellness in Strengthened Quality Standards 

The series of five online workshops will support you to apply a diversity and wellness lens across the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and understand how it can benefit your organisation and communities. 

Is your service rights-focused and ready? This is an important question that all aged care providers should be asking themselves in the lead up to the introduction of the new Aged Care Act and the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards which emphasise a rights-based approach, prioritising diversity, inclusion, and quality care.  

Understanding how diversity and wellness are embedded in the Standards will help you to create services that promote equity, empowerment and respect and demonstrate to older people that your organisation delivers inclusive services that honours every older person’s rights.  

Each 1 hour online session will include: 

• A focus on one of the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards. 
• An introductory presentation about intersectionality and the alignment of diversity and wellness within a rights-based framework.
• Case Studies to demonstrate best practice approaches for the delivery of welcoming and inclusive care. 
• Q&A where you can ask questions and share ideas. 
• Discussion about the evidence requirements to demonstrate inclusive practice. 

The workshops are for CHSP funded aged care staff responsible for: 

• Leading and implementing the standards and quality review process. For example, Managers, Coordinators, Team Leaders, Quality Managers. 
• Delivering frontline services. For example, frontline staff across all service types.
