Sector Support and Development (SSD) assists Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) providers in enhancing service quality and increasing capacity, particularly amidst ongoing Aged Care reforms. CHSP organisations offer entry-level support to seniors to help them maintain independence at home and optimise their well-being.
MDS SSD, alongside regional and national SSDs, offers CHSP staff and volunteers opportunities for professional development through training workshops, conferences, ageing forums, and regular e-news updates.
Furthermore, MDS SSD hosts occasional information sessions to aid community members in navigating the aged care system.
Sector Support and Development is funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care.
