Whistleblowing in Aged Care: Speaking Up Safely

Whether you work in residential or home care as a support worker, clinician, manager or member of the administrative team, you have the power to speak up and make a difference. This Ausmed Training Module provides an overview of the increased protections for whistleblowers under the new Aged Care Act, looking at key changes from the previous legislation, how to recognise misconduct, and different reporting pathways. You play a crucial role in ensuring that older people are treated with dignity and respect, and increasing transparency and accountability in the aged care sector.

All staff members of Commonwealth-funded residential aged care facilities, home care providers, and flexible care providers delivered in a home or community setting.
