Information about legislation

The Commonwealth Health Department has good information about legislation for aged care.

The main piece of legislation is the Aged Care Act 1997.

This is supported by various other Acts and Principles.

I have put links to the various pieces of legislation and some brief information about this below.

Other Acts

Note that the links here might not always by immediately up to date.

The Aged Care Diversity Framework aims to make sure all aged care services are respectful and inclusive.

The Food safety legislation is vital in aged care.  The laws on this are different for each state.  Here is information about the legislation in New South Wales (NSW).  In NSW all homes are required to be audited every year by the NSW Food Authority or a third party auditor.
