The Charter is available via: www.agedcare.health.gov.au where it lists your rights and responsibilities. Every resident has the right to freedom and respect. An individual’s right does not decrease when he or she moves into a residential aged care service, regardless of physical, mental conditions or the ability to exercise or fully appreciate their rights. This Charter recognises that residents have a joint responsibility to ensure that their individual rights do not affect the individual rights of other residents, staff or carers.
