Training without the downtime
Anyone who has served in the military or signed up to a grueling training regime will be familiar with the term ‘bootcamp’ – and now aged care workers and leaders can get the same level of ‘workforce fitness’ from our professional development bootcamps without the downtime.

The changing face of aged care employment
There have been many Fair Work Commission (FWC) matters that have been changing aged care employment conditions over the past five years or so – that’s a lot for providers to stay across and there’s more to come.
In a watershed moment, 12 September 2024 saw the introduction of the new Aged Care Act to Federal Parliament. This event, the culmination of more than a year of advocacy, debate and political negotiation, marked the passing of the most significant hurdle for the most significant reforms to aged care in a quarter of a century.
As the sector stands at a pivotal political crossroad, the Aged & Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA) and aged care providers are getting on with the job of reform and celebrating our sector’s heart and soul.
As a silent epidemic of homelessness among our older population sweeps across Australia, Melbourne’s Brotherhood of St Laurence is pitching in to make a difference.
It’s that time of year again when we put a spotlight on the tireless efforts of Australia’s amazing aged care staff – from managers carrying the burden of responsibility to frontline workers providing companionship and excellence in care.
