As the aged care sector prepares to transition to the new Support at Home program for 1 July 2024 it is important that service providers prepare for the regulatory and program changes that will impact their organisations, staff and clients.
To help keep you connected to the ongoing changes the Eastern Sector Development Team hosts periodic briefing sessions that provide you with a summary of various reform activities, consultations and changes in the pipeline. New in brief sessions are hosted online and recorded so people in the aged care sector can connect with them at any point.
