The Grampians Region Personal Care Protocol was developed in response to requests from Grampians Region HACC Personal Care Providers for the provision of a document that clarified their role in the timely and effective delivery of personal care services. This protocol does not govern or determine the practices of registered nurses as their practice is determined by their individual registration as a nurse.
This protocol covers the assessment and delivery of personal care services and is inclusive of material relating to both prescription and over the counter medications.
The project to design and develop this protocol was funded through the Victorian Department of Health, Grampians Region. The Grampians Region Personal Care Protocol Steering Committee will meet annually to review the protocol - all other interested parties will be invited to participate in the review. The Policy and Service Advisor for the Grampians Region, Victorian Department of Health will be responsible for initiating the review. Changes to the protocol will be presented at the next available Grampians Region HACC forum.
Any changes to the HACC Personal Care Policy and/or advice relative to assistance with medications that may affect this protocol (between formal annual reviews) will be circulated to all organisations - each organisation is asked to take responsibility to update the relevant sections of their copy of the protocol as appropriate.
