On Sunday 16 September 2018, the Prime Minster of Australia announced a Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
The Terms of Reference are yet to be released, but this is a good time to start thinking about some of the very practical steps you can be taking to position yourselves for the journey ahead.
These might include:
These are just the starting point.
Recent Royal Commissions have been heavily run by case studies and by reference to statistical evidence (as the Royal Commission into Financial Services has been). Once Commissioners are appointed, requests for documents will be rapid, with short timeframes imposed within which to respond.
Please feel free to get in contact with one of our Royal Commission experts if you require further information or would like to discuss Royal Commissions in the context of your business. We couple our Royal Commission expertise and industry knowledge to guide you through the process and manage reputational risk.
I lead MinterEllison’s national Aged Care practice. Having worked exclusively in health and ageing for more than 20 years, I use the understanding I gained whilst working as a registered nurse to provide practical, outcome-focused solutions to legal problems.
I regularly advise clients on how to manage commercial disputes and contentious compliance and regulatory issues. My expertise covers funds management and trust disputes, fraud, contractual disputes, insolvency and reconstruction, anti–money laundering issues, and anti-corruption compliance and enforcement.
I have more than 35 years experience helping clients develop and implement successful industrial strategies and resolve employment issues. I also act as counsel in industrial litigation, and always enjoy working with clients to find practical ways to resolve disputes. I am experienced in dealing with sensitive matters relating to the care of the elderly and disadvantaged.
I am a disputes and insolvency lawyer with more than 30 years' experience. I often represent governments, major public corporations, banks and other financial institutions in disputes involving contracts, debt, trust and fiduciary duties, restitutionary claims, tax, torts and trade practices.
