ACCPA today took an important step in enshrining the values underpinning its vision to enhance the wellbeing of older Australians through a high performing, trusted and sustainable aged care sector, with the launch of its Members’ Charter.
The Charter outlines what ACCPA and our Members value and the ways in which we expect to operate and support each other in the provision of services to older Australians. The Charter describes the desired behaviours and expectations of ACCPA and its Members. These describe to the sector and service users the basis on which we operate as an association.
In stating our expected values and behaviours this Charter reflects the purpose of ACCPA to lead, advocate and provide support, advice, and guidance to aged care providers to ensure a high performing, trusted and sustainable aged care sector, so that older Australians can live their best lives.
ACCPA CEO Tom Symondson and the Chairman of the ACCPA Board Dr Graeme Blackman AO, signed a ceremonial Charter at the inaugural ACCPA National Conference in Adelaide today.
Mr Symondson said, “The purpose of the Members’ Charter is to bring clarity around how ACCPA and its Members work in pursuit of a shared vision. In support, ACCPA has mapped the services and support that it offers to our Members to enable progress towards this vision. The Charter will also be supported by governance oversight and administrative processes.”
“This is also an important milestone in the establishment of our new national industry association for all aged care providers.”
