ACCPA sets the standard in home care development
The ACCPA’s program equips home care providers to navigate upcoming aged care reforms.
Home and community care providers eager to navigate the once in a generation aged care reforms can gain a head start through a range of vital home care webinars, workshops, and bootcamps.
The Leading the Way in Home Care professional development program, has been crafted by the Aged & Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA), and aims to equip the sector for significant growth and upcoming legislative changes.
ACCPA CEO Tom Symondson says the program is designed to support home care providers to build the capability of their workforce to meet challenges head on.
“In coming decades, more and more older Australians will want to receive care services in their home to support their wellbeing as they age, yet, we will have fewer working-age people to support this demand.”
While the challenges of attracting, recruiting, and retaining home care workers loom large, they also present an opportunity for the sector to innovate and rethink aged care delivery in dynamic ways.
“Many older Australians are savvy consumers, switched on and committed to maximising their years of good health, opting to maintain their independence as long as possible and receive care services at home,” Mr Symondson explained.
The ACCPA sessions, led by industry experts, are tailored to empower teams with the essential knowledge and skills needed to navigate forthcoming reforms and provide high-quality care.
Lisa Chugg, Team Leader at Southern Cross Care, shared her positive experience with the bootcamp.
“I’ve attended training elsewhere, but ACCPA stands out as the best. The 30-minute session format is perfect, and the post-session follow-up, along with additional reading material, is very thorough and useful.”
