Aged Care Indigenous Induction Program (ACIIP)

First impressions make a real difference to the experience had by new workers
Induction serves a number of purposes including:

  • introducing the organisation and its workplace culture;
    and
  • providing new workers with information about the job, the organisational workplace and their role to enable them to be as productive as possible as quickly as possible.

The Buddy Guide

  • provides the key material to cover induction for aged care workers and the opportunity to add your own organisation’s workplace procedures and policies
  • includes a ‘Glossary’ of key words and their meanings that are frequently used in aged care
  • provides checkpoints that can be used to check on knowledge that has been developed through the induction includes:
    – detailed notes, video clips and images
    – copies of pdfs that can be reproduced
    – brief topic cards with key information for
    workers
    – topic cards with more comprehensive
    information
    – a journal for workers to record their experience
