About the webinar
A Monthly Care Statement is a statement that providers give to residents and their representatives every month to improve communication about health and wellbeing.
The statement will summarise:
- the care the resident accesses
- changes to the resident’s health or care
- other relevant events that occurred in the previous period.
We encourage all residential aged care homes to offer Monthly Care Statements from 1 October 2024.
Giving statements voluntarily will improve communication, develop processes with your residents and improve your care planning before it becomes mandatory.
We will release guidance on Monthly Care Statements for you to review before the webinar.
