What is this fact sheet about?

A group of people. There is a woman at the front of the group, she is holding a card that says "we".

Bold, not bold.

We wrote some important words in bold.

This means the letters are thicker and darker.

We explain what these words mean.

  • have good supports.

When your aged care home is registered, they:

  • can give supports to people with disability who live there
  • must follow our rules.
