The article provides key recommendations regarding aged care providers and their obligations under the Aged Care Act 1997. Anita and Melanie discuss the perceived role of aged care operators to provide a duty of care, but to also support their consumer’s dignity of risk. 

The article weighs up the considerations between supporting a consumer’s dignity of risk and being negligent in facilitating a consumer to take on a risk. 

Please read the full article on page 58 of LASA's Autumn 2020 issue of Fusion.
