Dear Valued Service Provider,

We are approaching the end of another unprecedented year, during which the Sector demonstrated its incredible resilience and commitment to keep our communities safe and cared for. We have managed another lockdown, supported the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccinations amongst clients and staff, and navigated multiple policy changes.

In this Regional Forum Week, we suggest you take a break from the crisis mode and focus on the future. As the state has reopened its international borders and as more and more people are starting to move within and across states, join us for one, two, or all three webinars. You will learn how COVID-19 positive patients will be managed in the community, but also hear insights and ideas on how the future aged care environment might look. There will be a Q & A at the end of each webinar.

5 Pillars Over 5 Years -
Distilling the Reforms:
How will the next two years look?

Paul Sadler - CEO, ACSA
Monday 29th November, 10am -11am

The 5 Pillars Over 5 Years plan from the Government was announced in May 2021 and several changes in regulations for aged care providers are now underway, including the infamous payment in arrears for CHSP providers. But what else should be on your radar? In this webinar, Paul will further unpack and distill what is meant by each of the pillars, both at operational and strategic levels.

As the state has reached high levels of COVID-19 vaccinations and is planning to fully reopen in December 2021, how will the state manage a potential increase in COVID-19 positive patients in the community? In this webinar, hear from Dr Fiona Robinson who is a GP currently working in the virtual hospital looking after COVID-19 positive patients. How will COVID-19 positive patients be treated and managed in the future, where and by whom?

Digital access and inclusion

Disenfranchised members of society, particularly seniors, suffer increased disadvantage through finding themselves on the wrong side of the Digital Divide. Leep strives to address this by supporting Seniors to develop their skills in using their smartphones and tablets, as well as desktop computers. Volunteer “Tech Mates” provide one-to-one support in assisting learners to make better use of their devices for messaging, face-to-face calls, emails, photos, attachments etc.
