Care minutes in aged care homes

This fact sheet helps older persons, their families and carers understand the care minutes requirement for residential aged care.

Each aged care home must provide a certain amount of care time for everyone living at the home. The care must be given by registered nurses, enrolled nurses, personal care workers and assistants in nursing. This is called the care minutes responsibility

An accessible Word format of the fact sheet in English can be accessed here(opens in a new window).
