What is wellness and reablement?

Wellness and reablement: Opens in new window is an approach to aged care that focuses on helping people maintain or regain the skills, confidence, and independence needed to live well for longer. 

Rather than doing tasks for people, wellness and reablement encourages aged care providers to work alongside clients to build their strengths, support their goals and maximise their ability to participate in everyday activities. 

Examples may include: 

  • Improving mobility and strength 
  • Building confidence with daily tasks 
  • Encouraging social participation 
  • Supporting community engagement 
  • Developing skills that promote independence 

This approach is recognised as a core component of contemporary aged care practice in Australia.
