Care workers currently make up the majority of the healthcare workforce in Australia, however, their positions are not currently regulated by a formal regulatory body. For this reason, there can be issues around knowing where their scope of practice should begin and end. This Ausmed Training Module seeks to guide care worker’s in recognising what is and isn’t in their scope of practice.
