Staff, Quality, and Safeguarding: Navigating Transitions Between Aged Care and NDIS

This topic explores the interplay of staff roles, quality standards, and safeguarding protocols across the Aged Care and NDIS sectors, highlighting both the similarities and differences.
In both sectors, staff are guided by a commitment to person-centred care, regulatory compliance, and safeguarding vulnerable individuals, but there are key distinctions in service models, funding mechanisms, and care requirements.

Aged care typically addresses the holistic, long-term needs of elderly individuals, while NDIS focuses on empowering people with disabilities to live independently through personalized services.
The transition of staff between these sectors requires careful attention to cross-training, skill adaptation, and an understanding of the regulatory and operational differences.

Staff need to adjust to participant-directed funding models in NDIS, compared to the more centralized approach in aged care, and be equipped to handle different complexities in care.

This presentation will also address strategies for effectively transitioning and utilizing staff across both sectors, ensuring that quality standards and safeguarding measures remain intact while meeting the distinct needs of aged care recipients and NDIS participants.
