Establishing a national registration scheme will ensure that Personal Care Workers (PCWs) are adequately equipped to meet their obligations under aged care regulations. Structured continuous professional development requirements will enhance the skills and knowledge of PCWs. The benefits of such a scheme will provide the basis for building the required capability for quality care for older Australians and will restore consumer trust in the aged care system.
