How HILCA Tool Works
Leaders participate by completing an online survey about themselves and nominating feedback providers to fill in feedback on their behalf.
Data is collected and processed and each individual is provided with a comprehensive report that outlines current strengths and biggest areas of opportunity or ‘gaps’ in capability. Because it compares the self view with that of others, it also helps identify potential blindspots in the participants’ capability as well as confirmed strengths.
Following the survey administration and reporting period, a HILCA 360 Accredited Practitioner will debrief the results to each leader in a
confidential and supportive coaching session and start to identify the ‘view’ that lead to the behaviours identified. By understanding the views that
underpin our actions, we have the opportunity to change the results or outcomes.
The HILCA 360 process is administered completely online, with reports being provided in either hard or electronic copy.
Each participant also receives a comprehensive interactive Self Development Guide coaching resource to aid in their on-going development.
HILCA 360 is targeted and tailored to leaders and managers in or aspiring towards positions within three levels of leadership.
Level 1
Level 1 Leaders are responsible for the strategic and cultural responsibility for an entire organisation or division such as CEOs, directors, senior managers and department heads.
Level 2
Level 2 Leaders are responsible for overseeing multiple teams, or an entire service, function or site such as a Facility Manager, Care Manager, Human Resources Manager.
Level 3
Level 3 Leaders or 'front line leaders' are responsible for the activities of a team - Care Coordinators, Registered Nurses or Team Leaders.

Testimonials
"What I have learnt [from HILCA] has dramatically changed the way I deal with people. I know why I react the way I do and I can now stop and think about it before I respond. It’s been really helpful at the moment with everything going on [with COVID-19] as I’ve worked harder and longer than I ever have in my career."

*The majority of HILCA questions have been derived from the Care Industry Leadership Capability Assessment (CILCA) which is a valid and reliable assessment commonly used throughout the Care Industry. HILCA has been adapted to the health industry with questions arranged to better reflect the Health LEADS Australia Leadership Framework. Despite different ordering of the questions we can infer HILCA's reliability and validity from CILCA, therefore providing an objective and scientific approach to assessing Health leadership
capability.
