As the demand for aged care services will increase substantially over the next 40 years, appropriate planning for a well-supported and qualified aged care services workforce is vital.

One of the ways for aged care service providers to overcome some of the workforce challenges is by adopting a strong commitment to ongoing staff Training and Professional Development.  A commitment to staff Training and Professional Development will increase knowledge, skills, productivity and loyalty, to ensure a good quality of life for older Australians into the future.

In delivering quality aged care services, it is essential to ensure people entering into our Sector are  ‘right fit’ and that there is the appropriate training and development opportunities in place to enable the required skills and knowledge to be developed.  This has been the driving force for ACSA’s range of training and professional development activities, programs and initiatives – all designed to drive an effective aged care services workforce.

ACSA is dedicated to supporting the aged care services industry to have ready access to a range of practical and relevant Training and Professional Development options.

ACSA understands that if  Aged Care Service organisations are to develop a workforce with the required skills and knowledge to provide quality services to older Australians it is important that they can access the training they need when they need it.

This is the focus of our member-industry led and demand driven training and development opportunities.  

What do you do well, what would you like to do better? We are working with members to continue to develop and implement strategies and initiatives to grow and sustain a workforce that not only meets the care needs of older Australians but is also responsive to consumer needs.
