The Community Care Skills Standards Framework (CCSSF) aims to articulate clear skills standards required for these enhanced job roles of support care staff, and to provide a more skill-based career progression pathway to attract and retain locals in the Community Care sector. With the nation-wide establishment of Active Ageing Centres (AAC), the CCSSF was enhanced in 2022 to incorporate competencies needed for staff working within the AAC 2.0 model.
