In this time of incredible uncertainty, it can be difficult to find valuable support and meaningful connections to help ease the anxiety and stress. The aged care industry has been rocked by the effects of the COVID-19, being forced into lockdown. With all these changes and restrictions, day-to-day tasks have become that much harder. It is so important though to remain connected with your peers because it is too easy to fall into despair created by fear and isolation. Know that you are not alone in this. ACQA’s community is here to support you in what way we can through intimate online peer support and mentoring groups.

ACQA is creating these spaces for you to gather with seven other like-minded ACQA members who are similarly affected to share concerns, ideas, and moments of hope during these difficult times. Gail Harding, an experienced aged care nurse, Director of Nursing, and the Chairman of ACQA, will be joining you as well for extra support. Whether you have questions or just need someone to listen, we are hoping these peer support and mentoring groups can help you to build your resilience and maintain a healthy mental wellbeing.
