The role of the personal carer and Assistant in Nursing in Australia’s aged care environment is crucial for quality service delivery. The Australian Carer is a 494 page training manual written from the viewpoint of an aged care worker for aged care workers. It is a practical text aimed at providing a solid introduction to the information and skills needed by the personal carer or Assistant in Nursing and can be used as a professional reference for those already in the industry. Clear explanations and student friendly style makes the concepts easy to understand. Chapter topics identify the learning goals for each chapter so students focus on the skills to be obtained. Numerous photographs and illustrations demonstrate the concepts presented in the text. End-of-chapter case studies challenge students to apply their knowledge with practical scenarios. Section activities allow for consolidated learning. Coverage of palliative care better equips students to work in the aged care industry. A glossary contains key industry terms.
