This course has been developed to provide learners with an understanding of the requirements of Aged Care Quality Standard 3: Personal care and clinical care.
Standard 3: Personal Care and Clinical Care focusses on the expectations that the community and consumers have regarding the safe, effective and quality delivery of personal and clinical care and is aimed at leaders, managers and other staff members responsible for the delivery of care and services to consumers receiving residential aged care and home care services.
