Aged Care Training Room

Managed Learning Solutions for Aged Care Providers

Ongoing learning and development is central to the CQI process that underpins Residential Care accreditation and Home Care quality reporting, as well as key objectives of the ‘Living Longer. Living Better Aged Care Reform Package.’

It is essential for all staff members to continue to learn so they have the relevant knowledge and skills to meet consumer expectations, deliver evidence based safe care and services and to ensure that your organisation complies with regulatory and legislative requirements.

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Aged Care Training Room (ANMF ACTR) is an online solution to effectively manage:

Learning Management System

The ANMF ACTR easily and effectively manages staff learning and development via a learning management system. A learning management system is simply a central place to administer, deliver and report on learning and development.

A secure training department will be created and ‘fully loaded’ with 60 online educational activities (including mandatory education). The system also has the capacity to manage workplace competencies. Staff access is via a unique user name and password.

Your training department in the ANMF ACTR will become the “go to” place when staff members need to update or refresh their knowledge, undertake workplace competency assessments, meet any continuing professional development requirements or have access to relevant proprietary information.

Each organisation has its unique challenges when it comes to disseminating information, providing staff education and managing workplace competency.

Our learning activities can be customised to ensure that your staff are delivering care and services in line with your policies, procedures and expectations. Our learning activities can be customised with your organisation’s policies and procedures, other specificcontentandrelatedassessmentquestions.
