Addressing Diversity & Wellness in the Strengthened Quality Standards


The strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards emphasise the importance of understanding and responding to the diversity of clients to deliver person-centred and inclusive services.

Case studies have been developed to highlight the importance of addressing diversity and wellness within the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards. Each case study is supported by a set of reflective questions designed to prompt discussion among staff and volunteers in team meetings, training sessions or indvidual learning.

To get started, watch the video for the relevant Standard you wish to explore, then use the accompanying learning guide and reflective questions to deepen your understanding and enhance the learning experience.
