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
  • Turning the new obligations into a positive business initiative that fosters transparency, accountability, and growth

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical strategies for navigating the speak-up obligations under the new Aged Care Act. Join us to learn how to embrace the transformational changes and create a thriving, empowering environment for all stakeholders in aged care.
