Managing Risk Toolkit

The Managing Risk Toolkit is an easy-to-use online resource for nurses and care staff supporting older Australians. It provides practical guidance on managing risks in palliative care and advance care planning for residents, their families, and carers. Developed by aged care experts and reviewed by nurses and professionals, the toolkit helps build knowledge and skills to improve end-of-life care.

This Toolkit includes fact sheets, practical tips, downloadable pamphlets for residents and families, and links to useful tools. It complements ELDAC’s wider collection of evidence-based resources to support quality care at the end of life.
