The New Aged Care Act - Navigating Speak Up Obligations

The new Aged Care Act, effective July 2025, is set to transform the aged care landscape in Australia. The Act centres on the needs of older people, emphasising quality care, empowering the workforce, and strengthening protections for both workers and older people. 

Key changes include the right to services from qualified, skilled, and experienced workers, support for innovation and improvement, and participation in governance. The Act also introduces expanded whistleblower protections and updated worker screening, creating a safer and more transparent environment for all stakeholders.

In this webinar, we will explore:

• Key elements of the new Aged Care Act and how they contribute to a transformational shift in the sector
• Requirements for a new Worker Quality Care advisory body and its role in promoting quality care and empowerment
• Strategies for hardwiring a worker voice and creating a psychosocially safe place for workers and older people
• How to initiate and lead the change process, aligning with the new Aged Care Standards
• Effective communication strategies and identifying key stakeholders to engage in the process
• Data collection methods and metrics to track progress and drive continuous improvement
