DoHAC seeks providers' input for reform pulse survey
The Department of Health and Aged Care has opened the Aged Care Reform Pulse Survey to better inform how the department supports providers to implement latest reforms.
This short survey, closing 14 March 2023, will help the department gauge awareness of upcoming changes and the level of support providers may need to prepare and implement the changes The department is also seeking feedback on how organisations are going with recently implemented changes.
Depending on the nature of the change, the department will also consider what else might be helpful, like demonstrations, education and training materials, and other tailored activities. Visit this link to access the survey: https://healthau.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6WpaNw6SXr36XAO.
This pulse survey is distributed quarterly (with upcoming changes updated each time) to understand industry needs as the reform program progresses. Respondents can view the outcomes of the first survey as well as see these results on the ‘What we've heard’ page of the Aged Care Engagement Hub.
