“It is a sad fact that many older people, their families and care workers are reluctant to speak up about the quality and safety of care because of the fear of reprisal from providers or their staff members.”

From 1 July 2025, Australia’s aged care sector will enter a new era with the introduction of the Aged Care Act 2024. This reform replaces the Aged Care Act 1997 and responds to the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.

This article explores the key features of these protections, their implications for stakeholders, and the broader significance of these reforms.
