The Social Residential Homes Act (SRHA):
(a) Establishes a common regulatory framework to codify and harmonise care standards, and strengthen safeguards for residents’ safety and well-being across various types of Social Residential Homes; and
(b) Replaces existing legislation, including the Homes for the Aged Act and relevant provisions in the Children and Young Persons Act and Destitute Persons Act.
The three key features of SRHA are as follows:
1. Clear standards for Social Residential Homes to deliver quality care;
2. Stronger safeguards for residents' safety and well-being; and
3. A more comprehensive enforcement framework to deter errant operators.
