CHSP Provider Hub

• Within the New Aged Care Act 2024, a funded aged care service is defined as high quality care if it is delivered in a way that puts the individual first, upholds their rights under the Statement of Rights, and uses reablement approaches to support improved wellbeing, independence, autonomy, and physical and cognitive capacity where the individual chooses to.
• While there isn’t a standalone “Wellness and Reablement” standard, the principles of wellness, reablement and maintaining function are embedded within the Aged Care Strengthened Standards. In particular, Standards 1, 3 and 5.
• Using a wellness approach can inform the way providers work with all clients to help them take charge and achieve their goals – it is associated with concepts like “doing with, not for”, focusing on “what the client can do, not what they can’t”, and having “more good days”.
• A reablement approach offers time-limited interventions which focus on client goals and maximising independence and autonomy - remember to set clear expectations at the outset, build on what the client can do and ensure regular follow up and acknowledge improvements.
• Wellness and reablement reject the notion that ageing is an irreversible and inevitable decline.
• Thoughtful use of language can help reinforce positive views of ageing that accommodate the need to adapt behaviours or environments and retain, or regain skills, confidence, or capacity.
