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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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

28 February 2022 - Letter to aged care providers regarding COVID-19 vaccine boosters

Publication date

Australia is achieving pleasingly high overall rates of vaccination in residential aged care services.  At the same time, there is still a significant gap between the highest and lowest rates achieved to date across the sector, particularly in relation to the booster shot. This gap presents a heightened risk to some aged care residents, especially as we draw closer to the cooler months when there is typically some escalation in risks to residents posed by respiratory viruses.
