Welcome to SNACK – Some new aged care knowledge – dishing up byte-sized inspiration for person-centred aged care.

As part of our work building the capacity of the home care workforce, Dr Andrea Petriwskyj, COTA Queensland Project Lead, Engagement and Education, has produced a weekly podcast.

Commencing Monday 22 May 2023, she explores with her guests what it really means to deliver good person-centred home care through a ten-episode series.

Designed for home care staff, people training or planning to join the home care workforce, the podcast focuses on the real experiences of providing, and receiving, person-centred care.

Each episode is a short, accessible piece of inspiration and information for anyone looking to understand and develop person-centredness.

The conversations on the podcast cover lots of ground, including ageism and attitudes, autonomy and risk, self-care, advocacy and allyship, diversity and inclusion, and communication, and more.

You can listen to the episodes below and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

This podcast has been produced as part of the Australian Government funded Home Care Workforce Support Program, delivered in Queensland through a Consortium partnership including Skills Hubs and Skills Generation, led by COTA Queensland.
