How care minutes are reshaping the future of Aged Care
Webinar
Thursday 27 March
12pm to 1pm AEDT
Strengthening care delivery through compliance and strategy
As the aged care sector faces increasing pressure to meet evolving standards, care minutes continue to be a critical area of focus. With the government setting a minimum requirement of 215 care minutes per resident per day, many facilities are struggling to meet this target. Meeting this target is even more crucial for MM1 facilities, as a reduction in the Base Care Tariff will impact those failing to meet the 215-minute target, starting in April 2026.
Join us for this very topical webinar where we’ll discuss the challenges surrounding care minutes, including the financial implications of funding changes, compliance risks, and the growing need for effective staffing strategies.
Key topics we’ll explore include:
- Funding trends and implications on care minutes: Understand how shifts in funding policies are influencing care minutes and what this means for your facility’s financial sustainability.
- Care minute compliance and risks: Gain insights into the latest compliance requirements, the risks of non-compliance, including the financial and operational penalties that could arise from failing to meet care minute targets.
- Staffing availability and strategies: Explore the ongoing staffing challenges facing the aged care sector and gain insights on addressing workforce shortages while ensuring compliance with care minute requirements.
As funding models evolve and care minute obligations become stricter, providers must develop strategic approaches to ensure compliance, manage workforce challenges, and optimise service delivery. You’ll also hear from a panel of industry leaders as they discuss how their organisations have navigated these changes so far, the steps they’ve taken to ensure compliance, and their strategies for addressing these challenges moving forward.
