Strategic Training for Aged Care: Addressing Environmental Pressures

This presentation provides an overview of the Australian aged care industry, addressing critical issues and proposing strategic solutions. It identifies environmental pressures such as digital disruption, changing government policies, and a lack of skilled staff, which are significantly impacting aged care providers. The presentation critically evaluates these pressures and offers practical recommendations for strategic training responses. These recommendations include adopting digital transformation, investing in innovative technologies, and implementing coordinated strategies to attract and retain skilled staff, particularly in remote areas. The analysis is supported by relevant academic sources and aims to provide insights for improving the quality and sustainability of aged care services in Australia.

AUSTRALIAN
OLD AGE
CARE

INTRODUCTION
 The Australian old-program provides a variety of
facilities, from simple resources to enable people
to live at home safely, to full-treatment in a
private old-facility (also known as' sanitary
houses').
 This presentation will discuss the issues faced by
the Australian age care providers and the
recommendation to solve them

Aged care provider in Australia
 The Australian old-program provides a variety of facilities,
from simple resources to enable people to live at home
safely, to full-treatment in a private old-facility (also known
as' sanitary houses').
 Customers may access benefits at various tiers of
operation and other programs may only be accessed
briefly, based on their specifications. The AIHW has
identified over 1,000 "paths," most of which use a limited
number of ordinary pathways (AIHW 2011, 2017).

Issue 1 :Digital Disruption and Outdated Business
Models
 The population of Australia have graciously aged
together with a increase in demand for better
education and elder treatment.
 However, conventional operating approaches
neglect mobility and intellect, and thus do not
deliver the requisite quality levels.

Recommendation
Business companies should pursue an ambitious
digital transformation approach and update their
existing operating structures. Strategies and
address the obstacles. A digitally managed
business model would hopefully allow them to
leverage their current systems in order to
effectively improve consumer satisfaction, retain
their product consistent and make the organization
perform optimally.

Issues 2 : Changing
Government Policies
 The Australian Parliament has stated that the ageing
industry has always been the most controlled sectors.
 Other laws concentrate on the procurement of vouchers
for the treatment of seniors, training and assessment of
senior Australians. Somewhere in the last year, in order to
ensure better operation, the Government of the
Commonwealth made the auditing and administrative
regulations tight.
 The State has now implemented different types of home
treatment services that render it impossible for service
suppliers to handle the entire scenario (Graves, Zheng,
2014).

Recommendation:
The aged care sector will strive to step away from
conventional operating practices and invest in
innovative technical approaches, like innovative
CRM software, to handle such shifts (Khosla & Chu,
2013).

Lack of Skilled Staff
The Aged Pflege business relies heavily on employee
skills.
McCrindle survey predicts in 2050 that in each
pensioned pair there will be just five jobs.
The figure reveals clearly that the amount of elderly
people is growing, and the rate of employees exiting
the industry is rising on the other hand.
Further pressure and tension, fewer incentives for job
advancement, longer working days and unhappiness
with salary are some of the key explanations for the
loss of professional jobs (Deasy, & VACAR Steering
Committee, 2011).

recommendation
 To order to control the crisis, energy suppliers and
policymakers take coordinated steps.
 The Government of the Commonwealth has implemented
various changes and programs to draw young people to
the elderly.
 These are also many educational systems to help workers
develop their abilities. Some laws and legislation are now
introduced to give aged workers a profitable job
opportunity to keep them accessible to employees.

Attracting Skilled Staff to
Remote Areas
 The Australian aging industry faces another challenge:
the recruiting of professional staff, including trained
carers and nurses for rural facilities.
 Any of the main reasons making it tougher for the
elderly care sector to get trained staff are reduced
connectivity to transport and lack of sufficient technical
infrastructure (Moyle, Murfield, Griffiths, &
Venturato,2011).
 Recommendation: Through engaging in high-end
technological technologies and building a stable
network, the elderly service provider can manage the
crisis (Frederick, Goddard, & Oxley, 2013).

Conclusion
 In Australia, over 3000 treatment professionals in over
9,000 programs (outlets) offer assistance
 The industry comprises commercial vendors (for profit),
community-based and voluntary suppliers, state and
provincial, as well as municipal government suppliers
(Flitcroft, Salkeld, Gillespie, J. Trevena, & Irwig, 2010).
 This presentation discussed the issues faced by the
Australian age care providers and the recommendation to
solve them
