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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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

Being a rights-based regulator

Publication date

This document outlines how the rights of older people receiving aged care services are upheld in all the ways the Commission regulates. Including how we engage, inform and empower older people and their representatives, and hold providers, responsible persons and workers to account to ensure they’re meeting their regulatory obligations and provide care and services in a way that upholds these rights.
