Why is this course essential for your organisation?

In the new landscape of aged care, the fundamental principles of privacy, dignity, and individual rights are not just best practice; they are enshrined in law. The new Aged Care Act, with its comprehensive Statement of Rights, demands a proactive and educated approach from every provider. Protecting personal information and upholding the dignity of each individual is paramount to achieving compliance and delivering true person-centred care.

Is your organisation confident that every team member, from frontline carers to the governing body, understands their specific obligations?
