To complement the delivery of our face-to-face education programs, the Commission has developed a new, innovative, online Aged Care Learning Information Solution – Alis.
Our new online Aged Care Learning Information Solution (Alis) was released to the sector on 20 February. Initial uptake and feedback has been very positive.
Alis ensures the sector now has access to Commission educational programs anywhere and at any time. The initial modules focus on the Aged Care Quality Standards, using a number of presentation methods and learning examples, to help providers understand the requirements of the Quality Standards.
Organisations can use Alis to support their staff as part of ongoing professional development.
To access Alis, and find further information, including frequently asked questions, please go to learning.agedcarequality.gov.au.
Alis video
Watch the video for a short introduction to Alis.
Alis will initially provide modules focusing on the Aged Care Quality Standards. The content will expand over time to support all types of aged care service providers to:
- demonstrate performance against the Aged Care Quality Standards;
- deliver safe and quality care and services; and
- demonstrate tangible positive outcomes for consumers.
You can access the Alis content from any PC, laptop, tablet or phone device with an internet connection.
How to register for Alis
All Commonwealth-funded aged care service providers that are assessed under the Quality Standards have been offered a number of free registrations so they can evaluate the benefits of Alis.
These finite free registrations will be available until the end of March 2021, with an option to purchase more registrations to support your organisation’s ongoing professional development.
Learning outcomes
Our first program is focused on the Aged Care Quality Standards and takes the content from the guidance and turns it into an online interactive learning experience.
Upon completion of the Aged Care Quality Standards program, you will:
- understand the intent and application of the Aged Care Quality Standards;
- understand some of the key concepts and what they mean in practice; and
- be able to take steps to prepare your organisation for quality assessment against the Standards.
The program includes:
1. Getting to know the Standards
This section contains one module. We recommend you start with this module as it will provide you with an overview of the Aged Care Quality Standards and context for the rest of the program.
2. Aged Care Quality Standards
This section has eight modules, one for each Standard. You can choose which module you would like to start first, and you are not required to do these in any particular order. This provides you with flexibility as you might only want to do the Standards that are applicable to your aged care service type.
3. Key concepts
In addition to the above modules, a number of key concepts are available. The key concepts modules The Quality Standards modules include several key concepts which support the delivery of quality aged care services. The key concepts content can also be accessed as standalone modules to refresh your learning on these important topics.
