We’ve developed a tailorable poster for you to edit with your own local details, and print and display at community notice boards or waiting areas.

The storyboards use pictures to explain aged care, your rights and what to do if your rights aren’t being met.

The Effective incident management education pack is designed for providers to deliver to their own staff. It can be delivered in full or delivered as a series of shorter sessions where you can focus on the sections that are most relevant to your setting or the time you have available.
