🌟 We need to recognise the value of professional care management services. Future models in Support at Home include basic and complex care management and will require evidence of workforce skills.
Care or Case management supports older Australians who are living at home and receiving a Home Care Package (HCP). This helps ensure there are specific strategies in place to meet the individual health and well-being needs of the person receiving care.
🌟 Why are Care/Case Management skills important?
Case management is an internationally recognised profession. In home services, it is called Care management and is an essential key component of every Home Care Package. It ensures clients receive the appropriate level of support in a way that meets their current and future care needs. It should ensure there is no overlap, over-servicing, or mismanagement of services. Case management is a profession and follows an individual throughout their journey from assessment to exit. It aims to facilitate independence and improve the quality of life of clients.
Case/care management seeks to maximise the health, safety, and wellbeing of clients. It also enables coordination with multiple providers, connection to assistance outside of aged care, clinical oversight and coordinator with the health system, and conduct check-ins.
This training workshop has been designed across two workshops of 90 minutes each, designed to provide the foundations of case/care management and as such is suitable for those providers who want to be confident their workforce can deliver basic and complex care management.

Regarding online training, we know that staring into the “virtual classroom” can sometimes miss those moments that face-to-face events deliver. So, we are mixing things up. In a time of transformation in the sector, we want to ensure that you are supported now more than ever. We will focus even more on interactive, immersive training sessions (think break-out rooms, cameras on (yes, scary), opportunities to network, and maintaining the LPA way of tangible tools and resources).
