Micro-Learning Sessions

Micro-Learning Sessions

Our Micro-Learning Sessions provide flexible, bite-sized learning opportunities designed to support culturally inclusive practice in aged and community care. These sessions are developed to complement our broader training and capacity-building work, offering focused learning that can be easily integrated into busy workplace settings.
Sessions are delivered live or pre-recorded and are designed to be short, focused, and practical, drawing on the practice experience of our trainers gained through years of working alongside aged care providers and CALD communities.
All micro-learning content is underpinned by the Aged Care Quality Standards and the Aged Care Diversity Framework, and applies a Cultural Intelligence (CQ) approach to support providers to translate policy and regulatory requirements into everyday practice.

Sessions usually include:

  • Practical strategies to support culturally inclusive care
  • Case examples informed by real-world service delivery
  • Reflections on applying standards and the Diversity Framework in different care contexts

Target Audience:

  • Aged Care Staff and Volunteers
  • Managers and Team Leaders
  • Providers seeking flexible workforce learning options

This webinar series explores the practical application of the Diversity Framework, providing actionable insights and real-world strategies to support inclusive and equitable practice across a range of settings. Each session is designed to translate principles into meaningful action, supporting professionals at all stages of their diversity and inclusion journey.
