SPONSORED STORY – As providers in the aged care sector look at the importance food plays in the health and wellbeing of their clients, it has become clear that more needs to be done to give older people access to enough tasty food that meets their nutritional needs.

In the aged care sector there is a range of complex financial information that is closely linked to the delivery of care and care outcomes in residents or in-home service clients.

No one enjoys initiating difficult work conversations, but sometimes they are unavoidable. Despite often being a confronting task for all involved, this is an important step towards overcoming worker disagreements and conflict.

Aged care workers have a true passion for caring but sometimes stressors can impact their work, so providers need to be aware of the challenges facing workers and actively reduce these stressors in order to have a strong workforce.

The new Code of Conduct for Aged Care is now in place for providers and workers, providing the aged care sector with legislated behavioural guidelines.
