Transition Care Program Program Guidelines - 2005 (PDF 286 KB)

The Guidelines explain the Australian Government’s policy provisions and operational context for the Transition Care Program including the clarification of responsibilities for approved providers under the Aged Care Act 1997 (the Act) and the Aged Care Principles 1997 (the Principles), which govern the operation of the Transition Care Program. However, the guidelines do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. The States and Territories may develop jurisdiction specific guidelines that complement these national guidelines.

The latest version of the Transition Care Guidelines is also available on the Department’s Internet site: www.health.gov.au/

I trust you will find the Guidelines a valuable tool that will assist in the provision and operation of transition care.
