Balancing Individual Rights and Risk Management in Aged Care

_

Supporting older adults to live fulfilling lives means recognising their right to make choice, even when those choices involve a degree of risk. This principle, known as dignity of risk, is central to modern aged care practice. It acknowledges that older people, like everyone else, should be free to make informed decisions about how they live, even if those decisions carry potential for harm. This course explores how aged care professionals can uphold individual rights while managing risk, and how this approach aligns with ethical, legal, and professional responsibilities under Australian care standards.
