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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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

Managing Whistleblower Disclosures Policy

Publication date

The Aged Care Act 2024 (the Act) provides people with rights and protections from retaliation when they share information and make disclosures that qualify for protection under the Aged Care Act, about registered providers, responsible persons and aged care workers.

Our Managing Whistleblower Disclosures Policy explains how we receive, manage and use information shared with us that qualifies for whistleblower protections under the Act.

Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, water and community. We pay our respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
