Transitioning into a leadership role in the aged care, community, or disability sector can be challenging. Many professionals find themselves suddenly navigating new responsibilities without adequate formal preparation. Recognizing this common experience, we have developed a practical Aged Care Mentoring Program designed to equip you with essential skills in clinical governance and leadership, empowering you to enhance quality and safety within your organization.
This program is rooted in real-world experience. Developed by professionals with extensive backgrounds in health, aged care, and community services – spanning clinical practice, people management, program and project leadership, quality assurance, and policy development – it directly addresses the needs we’ve witnessed and experienced firsthand. Understanding the demands on your time, we’ve structured this program into four concise 90-minute online sessions, accessible at your convenience. These sessions will provide a comprehensive understanding of crucial areas:
- Clinical Governance Explained: Gain clarity on what clinical governance entails and, importantly, your specific role in driving it forward within your leadership position.
- Data-Driven Performance Monitoring: Learn how to effectively utilize data to monitor performance and identify areas for improvement. We move beyond dry statistics to practical application.
- The Power of Continuous Improvement: Master the PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) model, a practical framework for implementing tangible improvements in your daily operations.
- Communicating for Impactful Change: Develop effective communication strategies to engage your team, fostering buy-in and support for vital improvement initiatives.
A cornerstone of our aged care mentoring program is personalized guidance. Each participant will be paired with a dedicated mentor who will connect after each session to provide support, answer questions, and offer tailored advice. Our mentors bring a wealth of experience (see their profiles below), ensuring you receive relevant and insightful coaching throughout the program.
Crucially, this program is designed for all leaders in the care sectors, not just those with clinical backgrounds. Whether you are a clinical or non-clinical leader in the aged care, community, or disability sector, the skills and knowledge gained will be directly applicable to your role and contribute to your professional growth.
