This learning experience has been developed by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (the Commission) as part of the suite of resources for partnerships in care. This learning is for partners, or potential partners in care, or for other visitors to aged care homes. It will introduce everyday visiting essentials to follow in a residential aged care setting to help keep you, the person you care for and others safe.
Aged care laws in Australia have now changed. The new Aged Care Act 2024 and Aged Care Rules 2025 now apply. While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations and legal responsibilities. Thank you for your patience.
