Overview

Wellness and reablement is about helping older people stay independent, confident and in control – by doing with, not doing for.

The Australian Government requires CHSP-funded aged care providers to embed a wellness and reablement approach into all services, including group social support

A wellness and reablement approach in group socvial support services:

• Supports better outcomes for older people 
• Encourages connection, confidence and participation 
• Reduces reliance on ongoing services 
• Aligns with aged care reforms and consumer expectations 
• Strengthens dignity, choice and control
