01 | Home & Community

Support at Home replaces Home Care Packages

A new integrated program changes how your clients fund and access home-based care - and what your documentation needs to reflect to support their plan. CHSP transitions no earlier than 2027.

02 | Quality & Standards

Strengthened Quality Standards - now enforceable

New standards across clinical care, dementia, diversity, governance, and nutrition. If you work in or with a registered provider, these apply to you - not just the organisation.

03 | Legal Risk

Duty of care is now a statutory obligation

The Act establishes a formal duty of care for registered providers and responsible persons, with compensation pathways for older people. This changes the risk profile for contractors and consultants.

04  | Clinical Practice

Wellness and reablement is now a legislative mandate

Maintaining and improving independence is embedded as a core principle of the Act - the strongest mandate yet for evidence-based exercise prescription, falls prevention, and balance rehabilitation.

05  | Rights & Principles

A new Statement of Rights - and it's enforceable

All practitioners must demonstrate practice compatible with the new Statement of Rights. It's no longer aspirational. Providers are legally required to act compatibly with it.

06  |  Primary Care

GPs can now refer directly into aged care assessment

New alternative entry arrangements allow GPs - and other nominated health professionals - to refer patients directly into the aged care assessment pathway. A new responsibility and a new opportunity.

07  |  Supported Decision-Making

The registered supporter role changes how you work with clients

Older people can now formally register a supporter to help them communicate and make aged care decisions. Practitioners must understand this role, its boundaries, and their obligations when working alongside one
