Clinical Governance Leadership in Aged Care

Effective clinical governance leadership is the cornerstone of delivering safe, high-quality care in aged
care settings. In an increasingly complex regulatory environment— guided by the Aged Care Quality
Standards —leaders must not only understand governance frameworks but also translate them into
everyday practice. This course provides a deep dive into the principles, systems and behaviours that
underpin robust clinical governance. Participants will explore how strong leadership drives a culture of
safety, fosters consumer-centred care and promotes continuous improvement. Through case studies,
interactive discussions and practical tools, attendees will learn to integrate risk management,
performance monitoring and stakeholder engagement into their strategic planning. Emphasis is placed on
data-driven decision-making, interdisciplinary collaboration and meaningful involvement of residents and
their families. By the end of the program, leaders will be equipped to champion best practice, sustain
evidence-based initiatives and ensure compliance with legislative and registration (accreditation)
requirements.
