New Video Explains Aged Care Provider Registration Categories

13 Jan 2026

Under the Aged Care Act, all providers delivering government-funded aged care services must now be registered.

Providers are classified into six registration categories based on risk and service type:

  1. Home and community services

  2. Assistive technology and home modifications

  3. Advisory and support services

  4. Nursing and transition care

  5. Residential care

Providers operating in categories 4, 5, or 6 are also required to meet the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, which ensure care is:

  • Respectful of dignity, privacy, and rights

  • Tailored to each older person’s needs, goals, and preferences

  • Aligned with best practice in quality aged care

The video is designed to support providers in understanding registration requirements and delivering high-quality, person-centred care in line with the updated standards.
