  • Emergency Management Guide for CHSP Providers

    This practical guide has been developed to support Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) providers to strengthen emergency preparedness and maintain continuity of care before, during and after an emergency.

    Developed through a collaboration between Sector Support and Development providers including Council on the Ageing Queensland, the guide brings together trusted national and state-based resources, templates, checklists and video case studies aligned with the Aged Care Act 2024 and the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards. The guide includes resources for providers, workers, older people, families and carers, with information organised across the three phases of emergency management: Readiness, Response and Recovery.

    Whether you’re reviewing your emergency management plan, preparing staff for extreme weather events, or supporting clients through recovery, this guide provides a central place to access practical, evidence-based resources tailored to the CHSP sector.
