Making consumer feedback work for you and your consumers: A Webinar series for CHSP providers
The aged care reforms will put older people at the centre of care, providing greater choice and control. For CHSP providers, it will be important to have systems and process in place to collect feedback to understand if the services delivered are meeting the specific needs of the older person and where there are opportunities for improvement.
About the training
The webinars will give you the skills and confidence to design and deliver consumer feedback strategies that actually work – empowering your consumers to participate and giving you the information you need to drive improvement. The webinars focus on practical strategies that are easy, inexpensive, and realistic to implement within a busy schedule.
Who should attend
These webinars are designed for staff who are actively involved in the collection and use of consumer feedback to support ongoing quality improvement within CHSP funded programs.
You may register for one or more of the weekly sessions.
