Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval by the Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Committee has been granted (reference number: 5201700912). A waiver of consent for the collection of the quantitative data has also been granted by the ethics committee. The quantitative element of the study will involve extraction of non-identifiable data by Uniting from their care management system. Uniting will remain custodians for all extracted data, therefore consent from individual participants will not be sought. Community aged care clients and staff that participate in the qualitative element of this study will be required to provide written consent, or have an appropriate person that can provide proxy consent on their behalf if required, e.g. due to cognitive impairment.
