Under Australian aged care legislation, every aged care consumer needs to have a care plan implemented, maintained and updated in partnership with their aged care provider, whether they live in a residential aged care environment or receive home care services. This document outlines the consumer's care needs, goals, and preferences, the services they should receive to meet those needs, and who will provide them and when.
Food Allergens in Aged Care is a new online training course developed to provide learners working in residential and home-based care settings with all the knowledge and tools they need to ensure that consumers are provided with food that is safe for them.
