Agreements & Consent
Every agreement complete. Every consent current.
The Aged Care Act 2024 mandates that every care recipient has a written agreement covering 10 specific content areas. Statura Care’s Agreements module ensures every agreement contains the required content, tracks all consents with their expiry dates, and manages fee schedules and variations — all with full audit trail.
The Challenge
An incomplete resident agreement is a compliance breach waiting to happen. The Act specifies 10 mandatory content areas that must be present. Consents expire and need renewal. Fees change and require notice. Managing this across hundreds of residents with paper files creates gaps that regulators will find.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are the 10 mandatory content areas for a resident agreement?
Section 45 of the Act specifies: care and services to be provided, fees and charges, consumer rights, provider obligations, complaints process, termination provisions, notice periods, security of tenure, privacy, and information consent. The module tracks each area with a compliance checklist per agreement.
How does the system handle fee changes?
When fees change, the module tracks the variation with required notice period, acknowledgement received, and effective date. It calculates the statutory notice period and ensures the resident or their representative has been properly notified before any change takes effect.
Can we manage consents beyond the main agreement?
Yes. The module tracks all consent types: care plan, restrictive practices, information sharing, photography, advance care directives, research, medication, transport, outings, and financial management. Each consent has an expiry date and renewal tracking.
