About the workshop
This one-day workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and practical experience to prepare for accreditation and re-accreditation of residential aged care services.
The workshop includes practical activities designed to help participants prepare for performance assessment, use the Commission’s self-assessment tool and understand the processes that are undertaken by the Commission during performance assessments.
Please note: with the exception of specific content relating to the accreditation process and the case studies, the content for this workshop is very similar to the workshop for aged care home services. The key difference is the case studies in this workshop focus on scenarios and issues you are likely to face in a residential aged care service.
