$100 discount off today’s rate for Australian Ageing Agenda subscribers!



In June 2011 the Productivity Commission released a report on Aged Care Reform and put forward a set of recommendations for the government on how aged care should be improved. They have recognised that providing quality aged care is dependent on a strong, competent and well-trained workforce and the sector has recognised that it is a shared responsibility between RTOs and the industry to work together to promote this.

How can RTOs and industry work together to achieve quality in aged care training and the skill sets of aged care workers?

Modelling Best Practices in Aged Care Training will address the current challenges in aged care training and provide an open forum for industry and RTOs to address the importance of creating a collaborative approach to improving aged care training.
Featuring leading expertise from:
?    Chris Robinson, Chief Commissioner, Australian Skills Quality Authority
?    Rod Cooke, Chief Executive Officer, Community Services & Health Industry Skills Council
?    Maureen Williams, Executive Manager, Organisational Development, Braemar Presbyterian Care
?    Kerrie Thomsen, Dean of School, Community Services & Health, Bendigo Regional Institute of TAFE
?    Ian Yates AM, Chief Executive Officer, COTA Australia
Plus many more!
