Care and Support Sector Code of Conduct Consultation

Published 18th November 2021

The Australian Government is consulting in relation to the development of an enforceable Care and Support Sector Code of Conduct (the Code) applicable to providers and workers across aged care, veterans’ care and disability support.

Through preliminary engagement with key representatives in the care and support sector, a draft Code has been prepared using the existing NDIS Code of Conduct as a basis and a consultation paper has been developed to seek stakeholder views on:

• the language used in the draft Code
• the elements of the draft Code
• areas where the draft Code may need to be adapted or adjusted to ensure it is fit for purpose across the care and support sector.
