After-Hours Health Care Toolkit for Residential Aged Care Homes

Central and Eastern Sydney PHN is pleased to share a comprehensive After-Hours Health Care Toolkit designed to support residential aged care homes in managing resident care during after-hours periods.

This practical resource helps aged care staff assess their current after-hours preparedness, maintain accurate and up-to-date medical records, develop individualised action plans for residents, communicate effectively with families, and compile a directory of local health, emergency, and support services.

Developed through consultation with the aged care sector and in collaboration with health service partners, the toolkit reflects best practice in after-hours care planning and response.

We encourage all aged care facilities to download and store the toolkit alongside your essential clinical and operational resources.

The toolkit includes:

After Hours Guide for Residential Aged Care

Action Planning Auditing Tool

Family fact sheet

Medical support checklist

Medical support checklist - editable version

Person-centered after-hours action plan

After-hours service directory (Part one)

After-hours service directory (Part two)

Download the full toolkit from this page and integrate it into your after-hours procedures to enhance care continuity and emergency preparedness for residents.
