Free Guideline: Dignity of Risk in Aged Care

Free Guideline: Dignity of Risk in Aged Care

Respecting a consumer’s dignity of risk is a key concept in Standard 1 of the Aged Care Quality Standards. Meeting this requirement is not as simple as blindly letting the consumer take whatever risks they want. Aged care providers must take certain precautions to ensure the request is well informed and properly understood. Aged care providers also have several other obligations including to provide a safe environment and meet the duty of care owed to the consumer, staff and others, which must be balanced against any requested by a consumer. This guideline is designed to help aged care providers get the balance right and avoid unintended breaches.
