Amidst the challenges of regulatory reforms, compliance demands, and financial constraints, aged care leaders are increasingly feeling overwhelmed. This has led to low morale and high turnover rates across the sector. Navigating the complexities of aged care requires strong, confident, and capable leadership.
The Aged Care Leadership Academy was founded to address the specific needs of developing aged care leaders—whether transitioning from clinician to manager or stepping into the sector from another industry. Our programs are designed to tackle the unique challenges of aged care, equipping leaders with the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to excel.
At the heart of the Academy is a focus on helping participants develop their own authentic leadership style while building aged care-specific expertise. Our knowledge modules are underpinned by a practical relationship to the Aged Care Standards, ensuring participants can confidently meet industry requirements. We believe that great leadership isn’t about fitting into a mould—it’s about recognising your strengths, honing them, and leading with clarity and purpose.
To recognise participants’ achievements, we provide a Certificate of Completion for each program. While not an accredited qualification, this certificate signifies dedication to professional growth and enhanced leadership capabilities in aged care.
The Academy brings together highly respected aged care leaders, specialist leadership coaches, and subject matter experts to deliver transformative learning experiences. Through a masterclass series, coaching programs, interactive workshops, and the Aged Care 360 webinar series, participants gain unparalleled insights and practical skills.

Thrive - 6 Month Program
Thrive is a structured 6-month mentoring program designed to build the skills, capacity, and frameworks necessary for aged care leaders to excel in their roles.
New or rising leaders in aged care often face overwhelm due to high workloads, regulatory demands, and a lack of support, leading to burnout and high turnover rates.
This constant pressure not only affects the leaders performance but also impacts team morale, leading to disengaged staff and impacts on care and compliance. The cycle of stress and turnover is costly and disrupts the stability of the care environment.
Thrive offers fortnightly one-on-one sessions with an experienced aged care leadership mentor, plus access to subject matter experts (SMEs) as needed. This program provides a supportive framework to reduce overwhelm, build confidence, and enhance job satisfaction. Participants are guided through setting and achieving goals that boost both personal performance and business outcomes.
Elevate - 12 Month Program
Elevate is a comprehensive 12-month program aimed at establishing and achieving specific business performance objectives while developing strong leadership skills.
Leaders in aged care often struggle with long-term planning and execution due to immediate operational pressures, leading to missed opportunities and stagnation in achieving business goals.
Without the right support and guidance, these leaders may feel isolated and uncertain about their decisions, resulting in inconsistent performance and financial instability for the organisation. The inability to foresee and mitigate risks further exacerbates these issues.
Elevate provides regular one-on-one mentoring sessions over a year, with a focus on achieving specific, measurable business objectives.
The program includes access to a curated team of experts for specialised guidance, helping leaders to navigate complex challenges with confidence and clarity.
By fostering strategic awareness and driving engagement, Elevate ensures leaders not only perform better but also inspire and retain their teams.

Tanya is very clever, clear teacher and she genuinely takes pride in supporting others to succeed

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Tanya. She was great in setting up goals and keeping focus and celebrating those milestones. Her communication both written and verbal helped me to accomplish my goals. Aged care is challenging but her engagement kept me driven, connected and feeling supported and informed to manage the difficult times. She is innovative, problem solving and has a growth mindset but delivers with empathy and patience. She is very passionate about the work she does and motivates and inspires people to engage and have a clear vision.
