Standard 1: Consumer Dignity and Choice

The Consumer Dignity and Choice Standard ensures that aged care services respect each consumer’s identity, culture, and choices. Providers must support consumers to exercise control and independence in their care decisions, promoting dignity, privacy, and well-being. This standard highlights the importance of treating consumers with respect, helping them make informed choices, and ensuring culturally safe care.
