It describes key aspects of the National Decision-Making Principles, with specific attention to factors relevant for aged care providers across Australia

It provides an Action Plan for policy development, which includes a range of practical tools.

It presents a self-assessment tool for aged care providers to assess their current policies, and includes a case study - ‘Robin’ - which can be used in interactive exercises with aged care staff

You’ll also find a Model Policy Framework for consideration by aged care providers to assist in reframing current policy settings.
