Clinical Care
Services
Providing excellent clinical care is vital to the health and wellbeing of clients so they can live life to the full.
Providing excellent clinical care is vital to the health and well-being of clients so they can live life to the fullest.
Home care providers often struggle with clinical care compliance, which is essential to the health and well-being people.. Clinical care is also an important regulatory requirement and integral to managing risks. It is vital that the governing body has oversight of clinical care through a clinical governance group.
At LPA, we work with providers one-on-one to provide individual mentoring or group training with clinical governance and care systems, practices, and processes.

Why LPA
“Neighbourhood Central is a small rural provider of Home Care and multiple CHSP services based in Central NSW. We engaged LPA to support our services and help us navigate the many reforms in aged care, including the set-up and operation of our Clinical Governance Committee. LPA has been chairing our Clinical Governance Committee since 2020, and we have found their services incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, fostering a culture of safety, risk management and continuous improvement for the delivery of safe and high-quality care.
The benefits for us have been significant and can be seen through our team, who are confident and well-informed, advancements in organisational processes, and improvements in the delivery of high-quality services. I highly recommend any organisation that wishes to take advantage of the LPA Clinical Support Services to speak to the LPA team.”
