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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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.

The strengthened Quality Standards: preparing for the changes

This live learning session is highly interactive, exploring a case study to highlight connections between individual Standards. A series of issues arising for an individual on their return from hospital are explored through discussions in large and small groups. The session applies the Standards to real-world situations and reaffirms the process of self-assessment.

As this is an introductory session, and is based on the draft legislation, the session does not include information on provider categories, evidence required to support conformance, or the audit process. Future resources are being developed by the Commission on these topics.

Key information
