Risk Management and the Strengthened Standards

Overview

This workshop is designed to support aged care providers in adopting a risk-based approach to understanding and implementing the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards. With the introduction of the new Aged Care Act and the evolving Support at Home Program, compliance requirements are more critical than ever.

Attendees will explore the key aspects of the Strengthened Standards, gaining a clear understanding of their objectives and implications for service delivery. The workshop will focus on identifying potential risks across operational and care domains and exploring how to manage these risks proactively to ensure compliance and safeguard the quality of care. In addition, it will provide attendees with the tools and resources to monitor performance effectively, improve continuous quality management, and address gaps in service delivery.

Attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to not only meet compliance requirements but also foster a culture of risk awareness and continuous improvement within their organisations. This proactive approach ensures better outcomes for participants, enhanced operational efficiency, and alignment with the highest standards of care and accountability.
