The Grampians Sector Development Team has funding to support HACC-PYP providers in the Grampians region (Central Highlands and Wimmera). The project has a focus on Service Co-ordination and supporting funded organisations to build provider capacity, encourage the development of partnerships, and provide practical support for redesigning HACC-PYP service provision.
The ongoing moderation and facilitation of a virtual Community of Practice is a key element in providing this organisational support. You can join the Community of Practice by registering your interest HERE.

Aged Care Readiness Resources
Fact sheets developed for CHSP service providers in the Grampians Region to address essential practice in preparing for, and meeting their service and compliance obligations (Aged Care Quality Standards).
Note: Resources developed by ‘Quality Service Improvement’ for the Grampians Region Sector Development Team (December 2021).
See the overview Factsheet for further information, titled "Aged Care Standards Readiness Resources".
A number of resources were developed to assist all HACC-PYP and CHSP staff to understand the dynamics of having a continence problem, how it affects people, who can assist and what type of resources are available to help.
Please Note: The tools and resources were developed primarily for HACC-PYP – however all material also fits with CHSP requirements.
A range of other tools have been developed and implemented:
Community Support Worker Resource Kit This is a large file and will take a few minutes to download – it is a ‘live’ document and new logo’s are being added as new agencies participate
The Grampians Region Personal Care Protocol was developed in response to requests from Grampians Region HACC-PYP Personal Care Providers for the provision of a document that clarified their role in the timely and effective delivery of personal care services. This protocol does not govern or determine the practices of registered nurses as their practice is determined by their individual registration as a nurse. A further review of the Grampians Region Personal Care Protocol was undertaken by a focus group and via email in June 2017 and made available for distribution in February 2018. A revision was completed in 2020.
