1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,760
The new Aged Care Act puts you at the
centre of your aged care.
2
00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:08,740
It will make aged care safer, fairer and
more respectful.
3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,180
Under the new Act, your rights matter.
4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,600
And your decisions will not just be
accepted, but respected.
5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,680
The Statement of Rights means you have
the right to make decisions about your
6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640
life. It means people providing your
care will respect who you are and also
7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,020
value and support your identity,
culture, spirituality and diversity.
8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,220
It allows you to communicate your wishes
and get information about your care.
9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,900
Providers must respect your culture and
communicate in your preferred language.
10
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:43,340
This might mean using interpreters or
other aids to help you communicate your
11
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:47,240
wishes. You also have the right to stay
connected to your community.
12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,280
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people, this includes the right
13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,460
stay connected to country or island
home.
14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,520
You have the right to make decisions
about your life.
15
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,880
including the aged care support and
services you receive.
16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,920
If you want, a registered supporter can
help you with this.
17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Registered supporters can be people you
trust, like a family member or a friend.
18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,360
They can help you make your own
decisions about your care, communicate
19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,080
decisions you make, and receive copies
of your information so they can help you
20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,260
make your decisions.
21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,200
You can still ask people you trust to
help. They don't have to be registered.
22
00:01:26,990 --> 00:01:31,430
But by registering them through My Aged
Care, you'll be making it clear who you
23
00:01:31,430 --> 00:01:32,450
want to help you.
24
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:37,490
Having supporters does not stop you from
doing something yourself, because
25
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:39,350
you're in control of your care.
26
00:01:40,670 --> 00:01:44,970
Under the strengthened quality
standards, you'll be involved in the
27
00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:51,150
about who provides your care, including
when, where and how you get it. People
28
00:01:51,150 --> 00:01:53,390
looking after you must put your rights
first.
29
00:01:53,810 --> 00:01:55,390
They must listen to you.
30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440
hear your concerns and answer your
questions.
31
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:01,800
They also need to have the right skills
and training.
32
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:05,780
You have the right to safe and quality
care.
33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,660
Residential aged care providers must
report on critical areas of care that
34
00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:13,920
affect your health, safety and
wellbeing.
35
00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:18,580
This helps providers improve the quality
of care they give you and helps the
36
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:20,560
government monitor the quality of your
care.
37
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,220
This also contributes to the range of
information you can access about
38
00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:30,620
when making choices about the care you
receive now, or that you might want down
39
00:02:30,620 --> 00:02:31,620
the track.
40
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:36,020
There is a new regulatory model for aged
care providers.
41
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,020
These are rules and obligations they
need to follow to protect your rights
42
00:02:41,020 --> 00:02:42,700
delivering your aged care.
43
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:47,090
The new regulatory requirements support
your right to receive quality and safe
44
00:02:47,090 --> 00:02:51,790
care, including being an active
participant in decision -making about
45
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:55,850
Aged care providers will be registered
with the Aged Care Quality and Safety
46
00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:59,510
Commission. Their registration will be
renewed every three years.
47
00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:04,050
The Commission is responsible for
assessing the quality of care and
48
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,370
being delivered by providers.
49
00:03:05,730 --> 00:03:09,810
The Commission will also monitor
providers to make sure they comply with
50
00:03:09,810 --> 00:03:10,810
rules.
51
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:14,950
So what can you do if you think your
rights are not being respected?
52
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:19,230
Or if you are concerned about the
quality of your care? You have the right
53
00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:22,070
speak up if you have an issue with your
aged care services.
54
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:24,350
No issue is too small to raise.
55
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:29,110
It can be about something as simple as
the quality of your meals, not being
56
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:33,110
to have a say in what daily activities
you participate in, or maybe an issue
57
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:35,250
with someone who is providing your care.
58
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:40,170
If you give feedback or raise a concern
with your provider, they must listen and
59
00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:41,170
respond quickly.
60
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:41,999
and fairly.
61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,580
If they don't, you have the right to
make a complaint without fear or
62
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:50,760
punishment. If you need help to make a
complaint or find information, the Older
63
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,160
Persons Advocacy Network can help.
64
00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:57,760
You can make a complaint to the Aged
Care Complaints Commissioner online, by
65
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,980
phone or by letter. For more information
about your rights and how Australia's
66
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:07,240
aged care system is being improved,
