Unit Mapping Information

Supersedes and is not equivalent to CHCAGE005 Provide support to people living with dementia.

Assessment Conditions

Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace, with the addition of simulations and scenarios where the full range of contexts and situations have not been provided in the workplace.

These are situations relating to emergency or unplanned procedures where assessment in these circumstances would be unsafe, impractical or threaten the dignity of the person living with dementia.

Assessment must ensure access to:

  • individualised plans for the support of people living with dementia that reflect a range of dementia symptoms and identified behaviour and support services
  • facilities, equipment and resources relevant to individualised plans that are used when supporting people living with dementia
  • legislative and statutory instruments related to reporting
  • organisational policies and procedures
  • opportunities for engagement with people living with dementia and their family, carer or others identified by the person and others involved in service provision.

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations’ requirements for assessors.
