Supporting Participants with Multiple Chronic Conditions in Disability & Aged Care
Why Supporting Multiple Chronic Conditions Matters
Many people receiving disability and aged care supports live with more than one chronic condition, such as diabetes, respiratory disease, neurological conditions, or cardiovascular issues. Managing multiple conditions at once can significantly affect daily functioning, independence, and overall quality of life.
For support workers, understanding how chronic conditions interact is essential for providing safe, coordinated, and person-centred care.
The Role of Training
Training in supporting participants with multiple chronic conditions helps workers to:
Understand common chronic conditions and how they overlap
Recognise early warning signs of deterioration
Support daily health routines safely and consistently
Communicate effectively with participants and healthcare teams
Follow individualised support plans accurately
This knowledge reduces risk while promoting stability and wellbeing.
