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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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

Regulatory Bulletin RB 2025-1 Associated providers

Publication date

The Aged Care Act 2024 (Act) introduces ‘associated providers’. They are organisations that deliver aged care services on behalf of a registered provider.

This regulatory bulletin explains the types of entities (organisations and people) that are considered associated providers and the requirements that apply to them. We also explain the requirements of registered providers who use associated providers in the delivery of their aged care services.
