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 intake.

A wellness and reablement approach at intake:

• Sets clear expectations from the first contact 
• Supports better outcomes for older people 
• Encourages confidence, independence and goal setting 
• Reduces reliance on long-term services 
• Aligns with aged care reforms and consumer expectations 
• Strengthens dignity, choice and control 

What's coverered:

Webinar 3 in a series of 4, this 90-minute webinar focuses on how to apply wellness and reablement principles during intake, including first contact, screening and assessment. In this session you’ll:

• Enhance your knowledge and skills to support older people using wellness and reablement principles from the start
