About the guidelines
This guide is a result of insights gathered from the Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland pilot Aged Care mentoring program as part of the Home Care Workforce Support Program.
Its purpose is to facilitate connections between students, personal care providers, and elderly individuals who have firsthand experience in the Aged Care field.

often lack awareness about the positive aspects of an older person’s life. Many people – for a variety of reasons – do not have regular contact with or have had opportunities to connect with an older person in their lives.
