A FREE 45-minute webinar for aged care and disability providers on setting up and delivering safe care under the new Code of Practice. We'll work through a five-step self-assessment together live, and it's yours to keep.
1pm AEDT 28 October 2026 | Online [Zoom]
Hosted by Natasha Nutt, Founder and Occupational Therapist, Movementum
UPCOMING LIVE FREE WEBINAR
For the first time, there's a Code of Practice written for the work we actually do. The Healthcare and Social Assistance Industry Code of Practice provides the clearest guidance we have ever had as to what good practice looks like. This is now what providers are measured against and the bar has been raised.
This webinar looks at what it means for setting up and delivering safe care for people who need physical support in the community: what the Code makes clear, where we see providers struggle, and how to start closing the gap.
WHO IT’S FOR
CARE AND ROSTERING COORDINATORS
QUALITY, COMPLIANCE AND WHS LEADS
ANYONE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW SUPPORT WORKERS ARE PREPARED BEFORE THEY BEGIN WORKING WITH CLIENTS
OWNERS, DIRECTORS AND MANAGERS OF AGED CARE AND DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES
WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH
SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL
We'll work through a self-assessment tool together live, built on Movementum's five steps to setting up safe care: Intake Assessment, Environment Review, Care Routine Design, Support Plan and Worker Sign-Off. It draws on what we see every week in our manual handling training with care teams, and shows you where your organisation stands, what's already working and where to start. It's yours to keep, so you can return to it whenever you're onboarding a new client, reviewing a procedure, or planning training.
WHAT WILL BE COVERED
PLAIN LANGUAGE, NO LEGAL FOG
What’s new, what’s now the benchmark, and what “managing the risk to an equal or higher level” looks like day to day.
THREE GAPS WE SEE HOLDING PROVIDERS BACK
Routines nobody designed, or trained the team to deliver.
Core tasks with no documented procedure.
A hazard reporting process that breaks down at both ends.
For each one, what we see, what the Code asks for and where the fix is.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT WORKS
A provider who’s closed all three gaps, and why that adds up to safer staff, consistent care and a service you can stand behind.

WHY NOW?
For years, providers have pieced together what safe practice looks like from general guidance. None of it was written with a client's home, a hoist and a roster in mind.
From 1 July, a change to WHS law made that Code of Practice a minimum standard in NSW and Queensland. Providers now either follow it or manage the risk to an equal or higher level. In every other state, it's the clearest benchmark yet of what good practice looks like.
In practice, good intentions aren't the measure any more. What you can show is.
FAQs
Is it really free?
1
Yes.
What if I can't make it live?
2
All registered participants will receive a recording of the live webinar (please note resources made available within the live webinar will not be included).
Does this apply to me if I'm not in NSW or Queensland?
3
The Code of Practice is legally enforceable in NSW and Queensland. In other states it's guidance material. It's still the clearest statement yet of what good practice looks like, though, and the gaps we cover exist everywhere.
Can I bring my team?
4
Absolutely. Each person just needs to register separately.

Designed In, Not Bolted On
Training and equipment matter, but support workers can’t train their way out of a routine that was never designed. Why the new Code of Practice starts with good work design, and three questions to ask about your own service.
