DIGNITY OF RISK WORKSHOP
Dignity of Risk is a key element in modern aged care, as outlined in the Aged Care Act 2024 and the Strengthened Quality Standards. However, providers often find it challenging to apply this concept consistently in practice. Developed by the National Sector Support and Development Dignity of Risk Working Group, the Dignity of Risk Framework offers a practical, person-centred approach to assist CHSP providers in confidently balancing client choice, duty of care, and appropriate documentation in daily practice.
This workshop translates the Dignity of Risk Framework for providers into practical, actionable steps you can use immediately.
You will learn
• What Dignity of Risk really means in day-to-day practice
• How to balance duty of care with client autonomy
• How to support informed decision-making (not risk avoidance)
• When and how to involve supporters, family and professionals
• How to apply a proportionate risk approach (not over-documentation)
• Practical strategies to build staff confidence and consistency
