A restrictive practice is anything that limits your freedom of movement or choice - and under the new Aged Care Act, they are only ever meant to be used as a last resort. In this OPAN webinar, Restrictive practices: What older people need to know – and why it matters on Tuesday 23 June 2026, our expert panel will unpack what restrictive practices are, your rights, what providers must and must not do, and how to raise concerns if those rights aren't being upheld.
