Statement of Rights

The Statement of Rights is an important part of the new Act explaining what rights older people have when accessing aged care services.

In this webinar we work through what the Statement of Rights means for the older person and how it gives them the right to:

  • make decisions about their life
  • have their decisions not just accepted, but respected
  • get information and support to help them make decisions
  • communicate their wishes, needs and preferences
  • feel safe and respected
  • have their culture and identity respected
  • stay connected with their community
