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.

Care Minute and Roster Optimiser Programme
Balancing care minute compliance with aged care roster management is a critical challenge for aged care organisations. Fluctuations in occupancy or case mix can quickly disrupt this balance, leading to financial strain and a drop in staff morale. Small variations in roster management can have significant consequences, and without proper oversight, these issues can spiral out of control.
Whether you're facing the financial risks of exceeding your care minutes or the compliance risks of not meeting them, poorly aligned rosters can have consequences that extend beyond resident care. Misaligned rosters can lead to issues such as staff morale problems, increased personal leave, high turnover, conflicts between staff in different units, and even staff refusal to work in certain areas. These challenges impact both care quality and operational efficiency, creating a challenging environment.
Insider Information’s Care Minute and Rostering Optimiser offers a specialised service package designed to help your organisation navigate these complexities with confidence. Our experts bring extensive real-world knowledge and a deep understanding of the clinical and operational needs of both residents and facilities. This unique insight allows us to provide targeted solutions that align with your goals and the specific demands of your environment.

Resident Journey Experience Accelerator Programme
The Resident Journey Experience Accelerator Programme is tailored to transform how aged care facilities engage with prospective residents and their families. With increasing regulatory demands and staffing shortages, maintaining high aged care occupancy rates is more crucial than ever. However, many facilities struggle with converting inquiries into admissions and maintaining a steady pipeline for new residents. This often stems from gaps in engagement, communication, and follow-up processes, which can lead to missed opportunities, frustration, and lost business.

By acknowledging and respecting the past experiences of residents and their families, we lay a foundation of trust that reduces complaints, accelerates complaint resolution, and significantly enhances resident satisfaction. This foundation is critical for improving star ratings and results in more positive outcomes in resident experience surveys.
