• Engage CHSP providers to share updates, address issues, and promote resources about aged care reforms.
• Lead and participate in partnerships and networks, strengthening communication pathways at both regional and national levels.
• Broker, coordinate, and deliver training and education to service providers and workforce, with a focus on inclusivity and quality standards.
• Evaluate and support providers in understanding service impact and implementing restorative care principles.

Qualifications

• Strong facilitation and change management skills with the ability to overcome barriers and develop strategies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, adaptable to diverse audiences.
• Expertise in developing and delivering training programs and assessing service impact.
• Proven project management and leadership skills, along with an ability to interpret government documents and translate them for effective use.
• Extensive experience influencing change within the aged care sector and working with stakeholders at regional and national levels.
• In-depth knowledge of the aged care system, aged care reform processes, and quality standards.
• Demonstrated understanding of restorative care, diversity, and wellness approaches within community care.
• Tertiary Qualifications in Health or Social disciplines or equivalent experience.

Key Attributes:

• Flexible and adaptive mindset to navigate a changing funding environment.
• Ability to work independently and within teams, leading collaboration efforts and driving reform initiatives.
• Passion for improving the care and well-being of older Australians, including those with diverse needs.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced professional who is committed to supporting aged care providers through a period of significant transformation, ensuring they deliver responsive, high-quality care tailored to the evolving needs of older Australians.
