We protect and enhance the safety, health, wellbeing and quality of life of older people accessing aged care, including dealing with complaints and feedback about the care they receive.
We aim to build confidence and trust in aged care by promoting best practice and a culture of safety and quality in the sector, and we hold providers to account if they don’t meet expected standards of care.
We work with providers, workers and older people, and their families and supporters, to ensure that older people’s rights are upheld.
