The care economy continues to grow rapidly, in both attention and regulation. With increasing demand for aged care services and ongoing workforce pressures, providers and advisers need to stay across fast‑moving regulatory change.
This webinar series keeps you up-to-date with what you need to know about regulatory developments relating to aged care, disability support and early childhood education across Australia.
Topic
The introduction of the new Aged Care Act brings significant changes for aged care providers, residents and their advisers, particularly in relation to accommodation payments, decision-making authority and compliance risk.
In this practical and timely webinar, Conor Sheridan, Senior Associate, will guide attendees through the key legal and operational impacts of the new regime. The session will focus on provider obligations, estate planning implications for residents and the growing risk of disputes where authority, capacity or documentation is unclear.
