Why is Trauma-Aware and Healing-Informed Practice important?
Trauma-aware and healing-informed practice has been identified by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety as an approach that requires strengthening in our sector. It is embedded in the new Aged Care Act, the strengthened Quality Standards and the Statement of Rights.
Trauma-aware and healing-informed practice is a compassionate and thoughtful approach to delivering support. It recognises that trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on how a person feels, thinks, behaves and relates to others.
What we’ll cover
This full-day, in-person workshop builds the capability of aged care teams to embed trauma-aware and healing-informed practices across the client journey.
Aligned with the new Aged Care Act and the Statement of Rights, this session moves beyond policy – offering practical strategies to support respectful, safe and culturally responsive care.
You’ll explore how trauma can shape the aged care experience, and how healing-informed approaches can support older people to feel safe, empowered and able to exercise their rights and choices.
This workshop is relevant for all in-home aged care settings – including services not formally assessed under the strengthened Quality Standards, but still required to meet the intent of the Aged Care Act.

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
Recognise how trauma-aware, healing-informed and culturally safe care must respond to the diverse and intersecting experiences of older people
