Aged Care Justice Fact Sheets
AJC has developed Fact Sheets with answers to Frequently Asked Questions so you can learn about the rights of residents and your rights to visit them.
Can you be banned from visiting an aged care resident?
The fact sheets will provide information on whether you can lawfully be restricted from visiting an aged care resident, the role of the aged care facility, and what you can do about it.
Each State and Territory has specific laws on this matter, see below for the relevant jurisdiction.
Aged Care Justice strives to achieve justice for victims and facilitate change by providing access to legal services, offering educational material on aged care rights and lobbying for sector reform. Our aim is to empower resident victims and their families to seek the legal support they need to understand their rights and pursue them if they wish.
There is no cost in utilizing our services. Once a person is referred to an aged care lawyer who can provide advice, the initial consultation is also free. Lawyers have agreed to identify the most efficient and economical way to proceed including pro bono for those who qualify.
