Aged Care Code

By Steven Paull

A new Code of Conduct for Aged Care has been introduced. All providers delivering NDIS supports to participants have been required to comply with the NDIS Code of Conduct since 1 July 2018, and that requirement is not changing.

Providers and workers delivering both aged care services and NDIS supports will be required to comply with both the Aged Care Code and the NDIS Code. However, as the Aged Care Code is based on the NDIS Code, with slight differences in language and definitions that are specific to each sector, the obligations are largely the same.

Information is available on the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission website.
