Aged Care Act 2024 (Australia) for CISOs
What does Aged Care Act 2024 (Australia) require of a CISO?
The Aged Care Act 2024, in force from 1 November 2025, and the Aged Care Rules 2025: the conditions of registration and obligations every Australian registered aged care provider must meet, from the Code of Conduct, worker screening, service agreements, care plans, security of tenure and restrictive practices to incident management, the Serious Incident Response Scheme, complaints and whistleblowing, quality indicators, financial and prudential reporting, 24/7 registered nurses and care minutes, plus the statutory duty, officers' due diligence and the duties of aged care digital platform operators. Under Aged Care Act 2024 (Australia), which defines 59 controls, a CISO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
