Time: 1 – 2 pm AEDT
Save the date for our webinar on 26 March 2025, when we will discuss the Statement of Rights as part of an ongoing series to help you understand the changes under the new Aged Care Act. The Statement of Rights is an important part of the new Act explaining what rights older people have when accessing aged care services.
We will work through what the Statement of Rights means for you and how it gives you the right to:
- make decisions about your life
- have your decisions not just accepted, but respected
- get information and support to help you make decisions
- communicate your wishes, needs and preferences
- feel safe and respected
- have your culture and identity respected
- stay connected with your community.
