Your Rights as an Aged Care Recipient

The Aged Care Act 2024 protects your rights. Maison Care Services is committed to upholding every one of them.

Your Rights

What Are Your Rights?

The Aged Care Act 2024 is rights-based legislation — it puts you at the centre of the aged care system. The Act’s Statement of Rights guarantees that every person receiving aged care services has the right to:

Safe and Quality Care

You receive care that meets recognised standards of quality and safety at all times.

Dignity and Respect

You are treated as a full person with a life story, culture, and preferences that matter.

Dignity of Risk

You have the right to make your own decisions — even ones that carry some personal risk. Our role is to inform and support, not to control.

Cultural Safety

Your cultural background, traditions, language, and faith are respected in your care plan and in every interaction.

Informed Decision-Making

You are given clear, honest information about your options so you can make decisions that are right for you.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Your personal information is handled with care and is not shared without your consent.

Freedom From Abuse and Neglect

You are protected from any form of physical, emotional, financial, or sexual abuse or neglect.

To Raise Concerns

You can raise complaints or concerns and have them addressed without fear of consequences.

Transparency About Your Budget

You have the right to know how your government-funded budget is being spent.

How to Raise a Concern
