Working With Not Doing For Webinar 1: Introduction to Wellness & Reablement

What is wellness and reablement?

Wellness and reablement is about helping older people stay independent, confident and in control – by doing with, not doing for.

The Australian Government requires CHSP-funded aged care providers to embed a wellness and reablement approach into all services.

Why this matters

A wellness and reablement approach:

• Supports better outcomes for older people
• Reduces the need for long-term services
• Aligns with aged care reforms and consumer expectations
• Strengthens dignity, choice and control

This session covers:

Webinar 1 in a series of 4, this 90 minute webinar, will give you a solid grounding in wellness and reablement including how to embed this approach into a range of CHSP services.

Through practical examples, you'll discover ways to help older people to see and welcome the real benefits of this approach in their daily lives.

Bring your questions – there'll be time for a Q&A.
