People working in aged care should have access to the same legal rights as people working in other settings. One concern I have with the new Aged Care Act is that it creates broad powers for the Commissioner, Complaints Commissioner, or System Governor to compel people (not just registered providers or aged care employees) to produce information or answer questions, including compelling them to take an oath or affirmation [Ch6 Part 10 Div 3]. The threshold for applying this power is very low. As far as I can see the Commissioner just needs to believe the person has information relevant to whether a provider is complying, not that there is non-compliance; the Complaints Commissioner and System Governor just need to believe the person has information relevant to their functions [clause 488-489]. Standard legal protections are narrowed in relation to this power to exclude protection from a person making themselves liable for a penalty and legal professional privilege [compare s17 & s47 of the Reg Powers Act with clause 496 of the Bill]. The Bill already provides substantial monitoring and investigation powers under Ch 6 Part 2 – Part 5, which are broadly consistent with the Reg Powers Act but also allow warrantless entry where the Commissioner believes there is immediate and severe risk of harm to an older person [Ch6 Part 5]. The powers created under Ch6 Part 10 Div therefore, in my view, represent an extreme impingement on individual rights by the state without explanation or precedent being given. The Bill is supposed to be about human rights, but core element of human rights is protection from coercion by the state. This is mostly a matter of principle. A good provider will pretty much always be happy to answer questions from the regulator. And a good regulator won't misuse this power. However, we shouldn't design laws that rely on everyone being a good person. There are bad apples in business. And there are bad apples in government too. And lots of harm has been done in service to good intentions. Realistically providers will be well advised enough to make responses that protect their interests. E.g. That they are unsure. Can't remember. Need time to check their records and will come back with a written response. Individual workers are the people most likely to go into this process without representation and fall victim to misuse of this power. #agedcare

Continuous Improvement Plans (CIP) are crucial at every level of care, and providers must keep them well-defined and front of mind. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission can request a copy of a provider’s CIP at any time, so it’s essential to be prepared. At Health Generation, our consultants deliver a Continuous Improvement Plan as part of the deliverables of an engagement. This is a living document that providers can use to demonstrate their commitment achieving high quality care.  How successful is your PDCA approach in driving better levels of performance? #AgedCare #QualityCare #ContinuousImprovement #ComplianceMadeSimple #HealthGeneration

The Right NDIS Support Services: Five Essential Considerations Selecting the right NDIA service provider can significantly impact the quality of support received by individuals with disabilities. Here are five key aspects to consider when making your choice: 1. Collaborative Approach: It's crucial to choose a provider that values collaboration. Look for those willing to engage openly and work closely with you to meet your specific needs. Flexibility is vital; while compliance and regulations must be followed, the best providers adapt their services to create a more personalised experience. 2. Inclusive Leadership: A strong commitment to inclusion should resonate throughout the organisation. Seek out providers that prioritise hiring individuals with disabilities in leadership and customer-facing roles. This representation fosters a culture of disability pride and enhances operational effectiveness. Aim for authentic roles filled by disabled individuals, rather than token positions for promotional purposes. 3. Qualified and Registered Staff: Assessing employee qualifications is essential. Professionals in the disability support sector should possess relevant education, experience, and valid registrations that reflect compliance with industry standards. A deep understanding of disability culture and theory is critical. When evaluating a provider, consider staff’s hands-on experience and genuine passion for the field, as this authenticity fosters trust and ensures empathetic, informed support. 4. Accreditation and Compliance: Opting for a registered provider adds an important layer of security. These organisations meet basic compliance standards set by regulatory bodies, ensuring safeguards for individuals with disabilities. Accreditation allows for independent investigation of concerns or complaints, promoting accountability and high service quality. 5. Established Track Record: Choose providers with a proven history of operations. Organisations that have navigated challenges bring valuable experience to the table, making them more reliable and stable in their commitments. Their longevity often translates into a clearer understanding of the complexities individuals with disabilities face. By carefully considering these five aspects, you can make an informed decision when selecting a support service provider. The right choice can empower individuals and significantly enhance their quality of life.

Maximising the benefits of your NDIS funding can significantly enhance your quality of life! Here are some tips to help you make the most out of NDIS funding: 1. Understand Your Plan and Goals Identify your short-term and long-term goals. Ensure your plan aligns with achieving these objectives. 2. Choose the Right Providers Look for providers who are experienced, reliable, and well-regarded in their field. Don’t settle for the first provider you find. Compare services, costs, and reviews from different providers. 3. Utilise Capacity Building Supports Engage in programs that build skills and independence, such as therapy, education, and training. Use funding to participate in community activities that enhance social skills and inclusion. 4. Review and Update Your Plan Regularly Take advantage of annual plan reviews to reassess your needs and goals. If your circumstances change, don’t wait for the annual review. Request a plan reassessment as needed. 5. Seek Support Coordination Consider hiring a support coordinator who can help you navigate the NDIS, connect with providers, and manage your plan effectively. 6. Stay Informed Regularly check the NDIS website for updates, changes, and additional resources. Join NDIS-related forums, groups, and support networks to share experiences and gain insights. 7. Advocate for Yourself Don’t hesitate to ask questions or request changes to your plan. Understand your rights within the NDIS framework and advocate for the supports you need. 8. Build a Strong Support Network Engage family and friends in your planning process to ensure you have a robust support system. Utilise professional advice from therapists, doctors, and other specialists to guide your decisions. www.effectivepolicy.com.au #NDIS #ndis #serviceprovider #compliance #ndisaudit #ndisregisteredprovider #riskmanagement #ndisprovider #sydney #supportwork #supportworker
