✨ New Article: Dignity of Risk✨

At Bespoke Aged Care Advisory, we believe that everyone deserves the right to live the life they choose - even if that choice carries some risk. This is the heart of the Dignity of Risk.

What does Dignity of Risk mean?
It’s about balancing safety with independence, autonomy, and meaningful choice. It’s not about ignoring risks, it’s about having respectful conversations, working together on solutions, and supporting loved ones to live fully, with both dignity and care.

🔷 Important Update for Retirement Village Residents & Families in South Australia 🔷

There’s been a major update to the Retirement Villages Act 2016 in South Australia, designed to increase transparency, support residents, and modernise how retirement villages operate. The Retirement Villages (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act 2024 has passed Parliament, and further supporting Regulations commence on 2 February 2026, so it's vital to be aware and prepared.

Here’s what’s changing for residents and future occupiers:
• Clearer contracts and disclosures: Expect more detailed statements, clearer contract terms, deposit rules, and estimated exit entitlements.
• Faster exit payments: Operators must pay out exit entitlements within 12 months, down from 18.
• Caps on fees
• Capital maintenance contributions cannot exceed 12.5% of the residence’s market value.
• Recurrent charges are capped unless covered by contracts - ensuring affordability.
• Improved dispute resolution & safety standards: New policies, rules on modifications (like grab rails), and mandatory staff training introduce better protection for residents.
• Stronger oversight: The Registrar has expanded enforcement powers, and operators will be held to higher standards through new regulations and conduct codes.

How Bespoke Aged Care Advisory Can Help You Navigate These Changes:
• Deciphering the fine print: We will translate complex legal updates into plain English so you're empowered to make informed choices.
• Comparing villages with confidence: Knowing what to test for caps, conditions and exit terms, which helps you compare options effectively.
• Preparing for the future: Whether you plan to move now or later, we’ll guide you through pre- and post-commencement documentation and rights.
• Ongoing support: When the new codes of conduct and regulations go live in early 2026, we'll help you understand how they affect your rights and obligations.

What Is a Care Plan?

A care plan is a personalised document that outlines your care needs, goals, and preferences. Whether you're living at home or in an aged care facility, it acts as a roadmap to ensure your care is tailored to support your health, independence, and quality of life.

The care plan includes information about your medical, emotional, and social needs, and clearly sets out how you would like your care and services to be delivered.

~ Your Rights and Responsibilities ~

1. Collaborative Planning: Aged care providers are legally required to work with you to develop your care plan.

2. Ongoing Review: Your care plan must be reviewed at least once every 12 months, or sooner if your needs or circumstances change.

3. Agreed Services Only: Providers are only permitted to deliver services as outlined in your approved care plan.

When creating or updating your care plan, it’s important to clearly express your preferences.

Let your provider know if you have any support equipment or aids you use, social groups or community connections you want to maintain.

Understanding what services, supports, and equipment your provider can offer will help you make informed decisions about your care.

If you're feeling uncertain about whether a care plan is in place, or you need support developing, updating, or understanding your current plan, Bespoke Aged Care Advisory is here to help.
