Aged Care

Library Overview

The Aged Care – Residential & Home Care Course Library provides practical, non-accredited micro-learning to support safe, respectful, and person-centred care across both residential aged care and home care environments.
Courses are informed by the Aged Care Act 2024, the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (7 standards, in effect from 1 November 2025), guidance from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, and contemporary best practice in consumer dignity, safety, and quality care.
This library focuses on how expectations translate into everyday care interactions — supporting workers to recognise risk early, communicate effectively, maintain professional boundaries, and escalate concerns appropriately across different care settings.
