Aged Care Charter of Rights 1 July 2019
The Australian Government recently introduced a simplified Charter of Aged Care rights. The Charter makes it easier for people accessing aged care services to understand their rights and what they can expect from a service provider.
The Charter of Aged Care rights outlines that all people accessing aged care services must be treated with dignity and respect. It acknowledges that each person’s identity, culture and diversity are to be valued and supported.
