New Aged Care Act provider obligations

Further information

We are now inviting feedback on some of the provider obligations under the new Aged Care Act.

This is Stage 3 of our consultation on the new Aged Care Rules. It follows previous consultation on:

• the aged care service list
• funding arrangements under the new Aged Care Act 2024
• the 'no worse off' principle for people already accessing aged care services.

In this stage, we're asking for feedback on provider obligations such as:

• current obligations, like the Code of Conduct, restrictive practices, and the strengthened Quality Standards
• new requirements, including rights and principles
• reporting and record-keeping requirements.

We've created a supporting document to help explain the Stage 3 Rules and support you to give feedback.

Your feedback will help everyone get ready for the new Act to start from 1 July this year.

Share your feedback via our online form by 13 March.
