The Department of Health: Seeking your views on a draft single Charter of Aged Care Rights
Today the Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care, the Hon Ken Wyatt AM, MP, announced the opening of public consultation on the draft single Charter of Aged Care Rights (the Charter). A single Charter will help to create a shared understanding about the rights of people receiving aged care.
A new single Charter is part of the Single Aged Care Quality Framework and will replace the existing four charters relating to care recipients' rights and responsibilities.
It will apply to people once they start receiving Government-subsidised aged care, including:
- residential care
- home care packages
- flexible care
- services provided under the CHSP and the National ATSI Flexible Aged Care Program.
Consultation
The department invites your comments on the draft Charter. All comments will be considered and inform further development of the Charter.
We want to hear from as many individuals and organisations with an interest in aged care rights as possible, including:
- consumers, their families and carers
- advocacy groups
- consumer peak organisations
- key sector groups
- aged care organisations
- staff of aged care organisations, health and disability service providers.
The consultation closes on Wednesday, 10 October 2018. Late submissions will not be accepted.
For more information, and to submit your comments, visit the Consultation Hub.
If you need any help with your online submission, contact qualityagedcare@health.gov.au. |
