Caring for Older Australians: Care Workers and Care Practices that Support and Enable Good Care

Launched in November, 2008 by the Social Policy Research Centre in partnership with the Benevolent Society (Australia), this paper draws on both Australian and international research to examine the working practices of paid community care workers with a focus on how care workers and managers can best support and enable good care of older people living in their own homes.

The aim of the briefing is to draw from the research evidence of promising and innovative practices that can be adapted and incorporated by care workers and managers into their daily work.
