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 or basic spreadsheets creates gaps that regulators will find.
Key Capabilities
What the Agreements & Consent module does.
Agreement Register
Track every resident agreement with parties, execution date, commencement date, type (residential, home care, flexible, respite, short-term restorative), and current status. Auto-generated agreement numbers for easy reference.
Mandatory Content Checklist
The system tracks all 10 legislated mandatory content areas for each agreement — care and services, fees, rights, provider obligations, complaints process, termination, notice periods, security of tenure, privacy, and information consent. Missing items are flagged immediately.
Consent Management
Track all consents: care plan, restrictive practices, information sharing, photography, advance care directives, research, medication, transport, outings, and financial management. Each consent records the method, status, expiry date, and evidence.
Fee Schedule Tracking
Itemise all fees and charges per agreement with change history. The system calculates required notice periods for fee changes and tracks acknowledgment from care recipients.
Variation Management
When care, services, or fees change, track the variation with notice given, acknowledgment received, and effective date. Maintain a complete history of all changes.
Regulatory Disclosure Tracking
Track required disclosures to care recipients: Charter of Aged Care Rights, fees and charges, complaints process, privacy notice, security of tenure, and advocacy services.
