Overview

This practical one-hour session explores how to apply dignity of risk when supporting people living with dementia in aged care settings. Participants will work through real-world scenarios and learn how to balance safety with autonomy—ensuring individuals can maintain independence, choice and dignity in their daily lives.

Dignity of risk is a key principle in aged care, recognising that individuals have the right to make their own choices—even when those choices involve some level of risk—rather than being overly protected.
