SNACK podcast series
QPP has produced several podcast episodes as a part of the Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland’s SNACK (Some New Aged Care Knowledge) Podcast Series.
This series is designed for home care staff or people training/planning to join the home care workforce. Each podcast focuses on the real experiences of providing, and receiving, person-centred care.
Our podcast episodes provide information to the home care workforce about utilising a person-centred approach when working with people living with HIV (PLHIV), as well as dispelling any of the myths and misconceptions about living and ageing with HIV.
As compassionate caregivers, you’ll delve into the essentials of person-centred care for older individuals living with HIV, gaining invaluable insights to elevate your practice. Beyond the medical nuances, this season emphasises the significance of fostering open-mindedness and acceptance. In the diverse realm of aged and home care, you’ll encounter individuals from all walks of life. Our episodes guide you in cultivating an inclusive approach, recognising the importance of embracing diversity and tailoring care to each unique individual.
Subscribe now and empower yourself to provide compassionate, person-centred care that transcends boundaries.

QPP would like to acknowledge the importance of our diverse PLHIV communities as they shape the principles that underpin the work we do. The lived experience and peer contributions of PLHIV remains always at the centre of who we are at QPP. We would like to take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us and laid the foundations for QPP and the sector – we remember the courage and sacrifice of many and we will continue to work towards a world where people with HIV live lives to their full potential, in good health and free from discrimination.
