Providing high-quality complex care support requires skilled, dedicated professionals who understand the diverse and often challenging needs of individuals with disabilities. At Concept Care, we ensure that our complex support workers are fully equipped to provide compassionate, tailored, and professional care to participants requiring specialized assistance. Our approach combines comprehensive training, hands-on experience, and ongoing professional development to ensure excellence in complex care services.
At Concept Care, we believe that proper training is the foundation of effective complex care support. Our support workers undergo extensive training covering:

- Medication Management: Our support workers receive training on administering medication safely and managing participants’ prescriptions as per medical guidelines.
- Emergency Response & First Aid: We provide advanced first-aid training and emergency response protocols, ensuring our team can handle medical emergencies efficiently.
- Behavioural Support Training: Concept Care emphasizes Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) training, equipping support workers with de-escalation techniques for managing challenging behaviours.
In addition to theoretical training, Concept Care ensures that all complex support workers gain hands-on experience before working independently. Our practical training includes:
- Supervised On-the-Job Training: New support workers shadow experienced professionals to gain real-world experience in complex care settings.

- Specialist Workshops: We conduct workshops with healthcare professionals, physiotherapists, and mental health experts to broaden our team’s knowledge and expertise.
Ongoing Professional Development
We understand that complex care is an evolving field, and staying updated with the latest best practices is essential. Concept Care ensures continuous learning through:
- Regular Skill Development Sessions: Support workers attend refresher courses and skill enhancement programs to stay up to date with new techniques and regulations.
- Mental Health & Well-being Training: Our staff receives guidance on managing the psychological aspects of complex care support, ensuring they are emotionally prepared to handle sensitive situations.
