Statement of Rights
The new Aged Care Act includes a Statement of Rights, outlining the rights that older people have when accessing aged care services. The rights will help to ensure that older people and their needs are at the centre of the new aged care system.
The Statement of Rights include the right for every individual to have:
Independence, autonomy, empowerment and freedom of choice
Equitable access
Quality and safe funded aged care services
Respect for privacy and information
Person-centred communication and the ability to raise issues without reprisal
Advocates, significant persons and social connections
Blue Mountains Food Services will ensure that our actions are consistent with the Statement of Rights. This will include ensuring that our aged care services are delivered by aged care workers who have appropriate qualifications, skills and experience.
