- Overview
ARAS Residential Care advocacy supports anyone who lives in an Australian Government funded residential Aged care home, potential residents, and their nominated representatives.
An advocate can provide information about your rights to help you self-advocate when you have an issue of concern that you want to resolve. Alternatively, with your consent and after consultation, the advocate can represent you in your dealings with the aged care home.
ARAS can assist you to address your care concerns, and ensure that your aged care rights are upheld.

- provide a guest speaker for your resident/advisory group
- refer you to other services that are appropriate for your needs, such as legal or counseling services
