Overview

The New Aged Care Act 2024 introduces a stronger legal and ethical framework to ensure older people are supported with dignity, respect, and safety. Under this new legislative regime, CHSP providers and their staff are expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of their obligations—particularly in relation to informed consent, confidentiality, supported decision-making, and the prevention of abuse or conflicts of interest.

This training responds to these expectations and supports CHSP providers to align their practice with the principles enshrined in the Aged Care Act 2024, its supporting Rules, the Support at Home Manual V3, and the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, particularly Standards 1, 2, and 5.

• Describe the legal obligations of CHSP staff under the New Aged Care Act 2024, including those related to rights, consent, and conduct
