Are Your Residential Care Contracts Putting Your Facility at Risk? The Essential Questions To Ask

Are Your Residential Care Contracts Putting Your Facility at Risk? The Essential Questions To Ask

The beginning of a new year is a useful time to step back and decide what should be done differently to achieve better outcomes in your aged care facility. As aged care lawyers, we see a lot of risk and liability issues arising from the same root cause – unsatisfactory residential care contracts, housed within an unsatisfactory contracts management system. If you own or manage a facility, you already know that residential care contracts should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in law, changes in the facility, and as part of a continuous improvement strategy – but, it can be hard to know where to start. To us, your review should always begin by finding the answer to these essential questions.

Kinny Legal & Mirus Australia Collaborate to Offer Smarter Contracting Solutions to Aged Care Organisations

We understand that aged care organisations often operate under significant time and resourcing pressure, and this is often contributed to by inefficient administrative processes in key areas such as resident contract management.

We also understand that aged care organisations operate in a continually changing regulatory environment, so it can be difficult to keep track of whether residential care contracts are top-quality and up to date.

We are also strong believers in making things easier for aged care organisations, which is why we have collaborated with Mirus Australia to offer a smart solution to these common problems.

How Can Overseas Investors Take Advantage of Australia’s Growing Aged Care Industry?

How Can Overseas Investors Take Advantage of Australia’s Growing Aged Care Industry?

With the aging population of Australia continuing its rapid growth, the demand for products, services, and accommodation that caters to these communities is increasing.

This trend presents tremendous opportunities for investors, and overseas organisations are increasingly interested in exploring business opportunities in the seniors market. But, the legislation regulating this market is complex and it can be difficult to identify which industry is most suitable. Different sectors are subject to different legal requirements and present different asset and profit opportunities.

The industries with arguably the greatest potential for commercial success are the Retirement Villages industry and Aged Care industry. While both industries are primed to provide enormous investment opportunities to overseas investors, it is essential that any individual or organisation contemplating investment understand the key features of each industry. Not only are they very different in how their products, services, and accommodation are designed and marketed to the seniors community, each industry is regulated with vastly different sets of legal rights and obligations which can impact an organisations ability take full advantage of the opportunities arising in this market.

This article outlines the key features that overseas investors should be aware of when first considering whether to you invest in the Retirement Villages or Aged Care industries in Australia.

Dignity of risk under the new Aged Care Quality Standards

Dignity of risk has been a recognised an essential part of consumer directed care for some time in the aged care industry, and is now a requirement under Standard 1 of the new Aged Care Quality Standards (the new Standards).  This means that, from 1 July 2019, aged care providers must be able to provide that they are providing care and services in a way that facilitates consumer choice, including choices to take risk.  But what does this mean for your aged care facility?  And how can you facilitate consumer risk taking without exposing your own aged care facility to unwanted risk?

Attracting the next generation - How the Aged Care Industry needs to respond to the growing need for workers

The next decade is shaping up to be an unprecedented period of change for the aged care industry.  The aged population is poised to nearly triple by 2050, and as individuals they will likely live longer than ever before.  The regulatory environment will have to change to respond to unprecedented need for services.  In the medium to long term, the industry will go through an incredible amount of growth and change – not only to keep up with demand and regulatory change, but also to compete against more diverse competitors.
