The Leaders Summit brought the sector together. This webinar goes deeper. If you left with questions about your legal obligations under the new Aged Care Act, your board's accountability for cyber risk, or where to start, this session is designed to answer them.

The Aged Care Act 2024 Has Changed Everything for Boards

Since 1 November 2025, Australian aged care providers have been operating under a fundamentally different legal framework. The new Aged Care Act replaces the 1997 Act and introduces strengthened Quality Standards, a statutory duty on responsible persons, and cybersecurity obligations embedded directly in compliance requirements.

Chapter 7 of the Act governs how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected across the aged care system. It is not an IT concern. It is a board-level legal obligation.

2 years

Maximum imprisonment for cybersecurity failures under the Act

$165,000

Maximum fines for conduct causing death or serious injury

10x

More cyber attacks on aged care than hospitals in Australia
