COURSE DESCRIPTION

Fostering trust. Strengthening accountability. Supporting safe, person-centred aged care.

Altura Learning’s new course on Open Disclosure is a timely and essential training program aligned with the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and broader sector reforms.

Why is this course important?

Open disclosure is no longer just good practice, it’s a regulatory expectation and a critical element in delivering high-quality, respectful, and transparent care designed to support providers in aligning with the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (2025). This compact, video-based course equips aged care teams with the knowledge and confidence to approach difficult conversations with transparency, compassion, and professionalism. By fostering a culture of openness and accountability, this scenario-based training empowers staff to uphold the dignity and rights of residents, strengthen trust with families and carers, and reduce risk through timely and honest communication. Open Disclosure helps care teams navigate those critical moments where integrity and care come together to make a meaningful difference.
