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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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.
From 1 July 2023, residential aged care facilities across Australia must have a registered nurse (RN) onsite and on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7 RN responsibility) unless they have an exemption. This fact sheet provides information on alternative care arrangements to meet this requirement.
