Members' Charter
This Charter outlines what Ageing Australia 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 Ageing Australia 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 Ageing Australia 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.
Further, the Charter articulates Ageing Australia members’ commitment to quality, safety and compassion in the provision of their services.
Processes for the administration and governance of the Charter have been endorsed by the Ageing Australia board and are summarised in our Members’ Charter Flowchart.
The Members’ Charter Panel is responsible for the governance of the Charter, including the processes to respond to any concerns raised with regards to adherence to the Charter.
Chairman Dr Graeme Blackman AO and CEO Tom Symondson launch the Members’ Charter – 2022.
