The Aged-care Rights Service (TARS) The Aged-care Rights Service (TARS)

The Aged-care Rights Service (TARS) is an advocacy service for older residents of nursing homes, hostels and retirement villages and people receiving Community Aged Care Packages. We also give information on the costs associated with entering an aged care facility and give advice on retirement village contracts. All calls to TARS are confidential.

TARS promotes and protects the legal rights of each person;

• to be regarded as a unique and valued individual,

• to have their beliefs values and wishes respected,

• to make informed decisions about their life,

• and be consulted about matters that will effect their quality of life.

We provide education and casework to help people understand and exercise their rights. Our staff is courteous, professional and committed. We have a complaints policy and procedure to ensure our services are accessible, flexible and confidential.
