By 1 November 2026, all CHSP clients must have a care and services plan that meets the requirements of the Aged Care Act 2024 and Aged Care Rules 2025. Under Support at Home, a care plan must be in place before or on the day services start. Learn how to write plans that meet requirements and reflect what matters to older people.
Using a practical example, this session will explore person-centred planning, wellness and reablement, and how to turn assessments into meaningful goals and actions.
What you’ll learn
Understand the requirements under the Aged Care Act, Rules and Quality Standards, and identify the essential elements of a high-quality, person-centred plan.
Turn assessments into meaningful goals and actions, using the older person’s own words.
Include strengths-based planning, wellness and reablement in care and services plans.
Avoid common documentation pitfalls and know when and how to review and update plans.

Who should attend
