New Aged Care Quality Standards

From 1 July 2019, all organisations providing aged care services in Australia must comply with new Aged Care Quality Standards.

New Charter of Aged Care Rights

The new Charter provides the same rights to all consumers, and applies to consumers when they start receiving Australian government funded aged care.

You can download a copy of the charter in many languages here.
