Let’s Talk: Whistleblowers in practice

Register for Session

People need to feel safe to raise concerns about aged care. The Aged Care Act 2024 strengthens whistleblower protections for people who report possible breaches of aged care law, including older people, families, carers, workers and advocates. Anyone can make a disclosure, including anonymously.

Join this practical one-hour online session to explore how these protections work, what they mean for providers, leaders and staff, and how to respond appropriately to concerns. You’ll consider common reporting scenarios, ask questions and discuss ideas with peers.

What you’ll learn

  • Understand whistleblower protections under the Aged Care Act 2024.

  • Recognise when a concern may be a whistleblower disclosure.

  • Distinguish between complaints, feedback and whistleblower disclosures.

  • Explore common reporting scenarios and appropriate ways to respond.

  • Consider how to foster a culture where people feel safe to speak up.
