Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

AGED CARE ACT 1997 - SECT 3.4

                   Approved providers have certain responsibilities under Chapter 4. These responsibilities relate to:

                     (a)  the quality of care they provide; and

                     (b)  user rights for the people to whom care is provided; and

                     (c)  accountability for the care that is provided, and the basic suitability of their * key personnel.

Failure to meet these responsibilities can lead to the imposition of sanctions that affect the status of approvals and similar decisions under Chapter 2 (and therefore may affect amounts of subsidy payable to an approved provider).
