At KeepAble we understand the importance of being able to access contemporary and tailored professional development for those working within the aged care sector. In collaboration with service providers, we have created a range of bespoke professional development resources to enhance the knowledge and skills of assessors, coordination, and support staff when working with clients to help regain and maintain independence and autonomy for as long as possible.


e-Learning module training

Intro to e-Learning and why we are doing this for CHSP The iLA KeepAble team is developing engaging and informative e-Learning modules that enhance the knowledge and skills of those working in the aged care sector. The short, interactive modules provide tips and learnings based on authentic experiences, which can be applied by learners to empower those they support to live independently for as long as possible.

Completing the e-Learning

Bitesize professional development

The iLA KeepAble team has worked with service providers and Regional Assessment Services to develop bitesize learning modules and supporting materials that will assist staff to understand the importance of adopting this way of working, and the pivotal part it plays in enabling older people to stay at home for longer.

See and hear support videos

We have created a series of short videos on what an assessor might see and hear during a home assessment that indicates a client requires a referral to Allied Health, and how to translate what is seen and heard throughout an assessment into the support plan. Watch the videos, download support material, and take the quiz.
