Watch this space as we will be adding case studies in the lead up to and after the introduction of the new Aged Care Act. The purpose will be to demonstrate through practical, real-world examples how key elements of the new Act will be applied and experienced by older people, providers and workers.
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 While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations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.
