Continence care in the community

A number of resources were developed to assist all HACC-PYP and CHSP staff to understand the dynamics of having a continence problem, how it affects people, who can assist and what type of resources are available to help.

Please Note: The tools and resources were developed primarily for HACC-PYP – however all material also fits with CHSP requirements.

Personal Care Protocol

The Grampians Region Personal Care Protocol was developed in response to requests from Grampians Region HACC-PYP Personal Care Providers for the provision of a document that clarified their role in the timely and effective delivery of personal care services. This protocol does not govern or determine the practices of registered nurses as their practice is determined by their individual registration as a nurse. A further review of the Grampians Region Personal Care Protocol was undertaken by a focus group and via email in June 2017 and made available for distribution in February 2018. A revision was completed in 2020.
