Every older Australian receiving care, whether privately funded or through government programs, has the right to safe, respectful and quality services.

You may find these independent resources helpful.

The Aged Care Quality & Safety Commission provides clear information about your rights, responsibilities and what high-quality care should look like. Topics include dignity and respect, choice and independence, safety and clinical care standards, and how to raise concerns.
