This online program provides a refresh for advisers who previously completed the Aged Care Steps (ACS) Accredited Aged Care Professional TM programme. It is designed to bring you up-to-date and deepen your understanding of aged care advice issues.

The Accreditation Refresh workshop is a 4-hour interactive webinar, in small groups, covering:

• Application of the 9-step advice process for creating aged care advice solutions
• Aged care fees, calculating the MTA and what trips-up advisers
• Examples of how the home is assessed (including retirement villages) and who is a protected person
• Advice strategies for the home
• What makes low-means scenarios complicated and how to navigate
• How to meet the Code of Ethics
• Bringing curiosity to the client conversation to map out the emotional fact find.

The webinar is assessed for 3.5 CPD hours across the four legislated CPD categories. Additional CPD hours for the assessments.

If you completed the Aged Care Steps (ACS) Accreditation before 1 January 2021*, this workshop is the pathway to refreshing your accreditation to qualify for the FAAA Aged Care Specialist designation. Alternatively, for a full refresh you could choose to re-enrol in the full Accreditation program at a repeat attendee’s discount price – ask us!

If you completed the original accreditation between 1 January 2021 & 31 December 2021, you do not have to do the refresher training (but may choose to do so), however you will need to complete an assignment to refresh your accreditation to qualify for the designation or credits.

Advisers who have not already completed the Aged Care Steps (ACS) Accreditation program (including all assessments) will not qualify for the FAAA designation, RPL status or the Aged Care Steps accreditation by completing just this workshop. The full Accredited Aged Care Professional program must be completed.
