The objective of the Guidelines is to provide guidance to hospitals and nursing homes (including hospices) on the minimum governance requirements and considerations for the delegation of low-risk tasks from nurses and AHPs to support care staff. The Guidelines aim to ensure patient safety and facilitate ongoing efforts by healthcare institutions in healthcare workforce transformation.Healthcare institutions may consider exploring platforms such as SkillsFuture portal or the AIC Course Marketplace for suitable training programmes for your support care staff to be trained in some of these low-risk tasks.
