This 2-hour interactive workshop equips registered and enrolled nurses with essential skills in clinical care planning and defensible documentation for aged care settings. Designed for RNs and ENs working in residential or home care, the course ensures compliance with Aged Care Quality Standards while improving care quality and organizational risk management.
Participants must be currently registered as a Registered Nurse (RN) or Enrolled Nurse (EN) in Australia, or newly graduated RNs who are new to the aged care sector. RNs placed within facilities under Australian Government Skills Migration arrangements are also welcome. Participants require individual device access to participate in the online workshop. No prior knowledge of Aged Care Quality Standards is required, though familiarity with aged care environments is beneficial.
The workshop covers care planning principles essential for person-centred care delivery, with particular emphasis on Aged Care Quality Standards 1 (The Individual), 3 (Care and Services), and 5 (Clinical Care). Participants explore defensible documentation practices that support consistent and quality care delivery. The session includes practical case study applications where nurses apply care planning and documentation principles to real-world scenarios. Key topics include assessment and planning processes, clinical governance, infection control, safe medicine use, comprehensive care delivery, and safety of clinical services. The workshop emphasizes how effective documentation and communication supports care recipient wellbeing, audit compliance, and organizational risk mitigation.
