LASA Leadership Program

The LASA Leadership Program is an interactive program designed for current and emerging leaders who wish to develop self-awareness as a leader, as well as leadership skills specific to age services.

The program is designed for all leadership positions in aged care at any level, and is ideal for those who are transitioning to a leadership position and require additional training to help them navigate their new role and suite of responsibilities.

Candidates should demonstrate passion, empathy and respect for our elders—with the right attitude of service—because it is people like you who make the best leaders.

The LASA Leadership Program offers six months of learning through leadership development sessions, supported by mentoring and coaching. LASA has also partnered with Data Drives Insight to support the facilitation of the CILCA 360 leadership capability assessment tool as pre-work for this program.

Participants must be able to dedicate a minimum of two hours per week for the duration of the program.

The LASA Leadership Program can be used as partial credit towards nationally recognised training in the Diploma of Leadership and Management. Additional evidence of competency can also be used as
recognition of prior learning.

The program will begin on 15 March 2021 and registrations are currently being accepted.

CILCA 360

LASA Leadership incorporates the CILCA 360 program, to help you better understand yourself and your leadership capabilities.
CILCA 360 is the only leadership assessment tool that is valid, reliable and age services industry-specific, that measures capability across the Aged Care Quality Standards and is aligned to the Australian Aged Care Leadership Capability Framework.
