  • In a Nutshell - Support at Home and the New Aged Care Act

    Late last year, fellow Sector Support and Development Providers released the "In a Nutshell: Support at Home and the New Aged Care Act" resource. While some of this information is only relevant for Support at Home Providers, some information is providers delivering CHSP. We also know that CHSP providers and workers on the ground are being asked about Support at Home, or are supporting clients to transition to Support at Home.

    Videos and factsheets have been provided to help Providers and on the ground workers to understand how the new Aged Care Act is transforming care delivery - putting rights, safety, and quality at the heart of every interaction. The In a Nutshell factsheet series gives workers and volunteers practical, easy-to-read guidance on what's new - covering the Statement of Rights, Code of Conduct, and the Support at Home Program. It is suggested that you watch the short explainer videos along with their factsheet.
