    Dignity of Risk in Practice Survey - closes 16 April 2025

    Dignity of Risk in Practice Survey - closes 16 April 2025

    Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland's Sector Support and Development Team sit on the National Sector Support and Development Wellness and Reablement Working Group. This group has a Dignity of Risk sub-group.

    Dignity of Risk refers to the right of individuals to make their own choices, even if those choices involve risk. The new Aged Care Act and the Statement of Rights requires us to ensure that "every older person has independence, autonomy, empowerment and freedom of choice".

    We are requesting that CHSP providers complete the survey to help us better understand how Dignity of Risk is perceived, implemented, and managed for individuals within CHSP organisations. Your responses will help identify challenges and opportunities for improvement, and help to inform future activities associated with these groups.

    The survey will take approximately 8 mintues to complete. The results will be de-identified and will be used by the National Sector Support & Development Wellness and Reablement Working Group to build sector capacity to apply Dignity of Risk with older people.

    The survey will be open until 5.00pm on Wednesday 16 April 2025.

Our Child Safety Policy

COTA Queensland’s Sector Support and Development team believes every child has the right to be safe, to feel safe and to be protected from harm.

Guided by our organisation’s safeguarding framework, our team has completed a structured risk assessment of our sector-facing activities and undertaken targeted training to strengthen our ability to prevent, identify and respond to child abuse.

We are committed to acting promptly and appropriately if concerns are raised or disclosures occur, and to supporting safe practices across the sector.
