Spiritual Care – an Integral Part of Caring – developed by Meaningful Ageing Australia for our members – is a 45 minute introduction course intended to be part of the regular workplace orientation of your organisation for new staff.  It aims to support the professional competence of staff in recognising and responding to the spiritual needs of older people in their care, within the context of their ongoing roles. It discusses, amongst other things, what spirituality is and why it is relevant to their role and spirituality in the workplace, and includes two real-life examples.

Now in use by many organisations across Australia, we continue to get positive feedback about its impact on staff members’ perceptions of their role and understanding of spiritual care.
