Proper documentation protects employers and supports best practice. Aged care providers should regularly review the following:

1. Employment Contracts

 Clearly outline duties, award coverage, and termination clauses.

2. Position Descriptions

 Include core responsibilities and required qualifications.

3. Policies and Procedures

 Essential for workplace safety, harassment, leave, and disciplinary processes.

4. Induction Checklists

 Ensure new employees understand their roles, rights, and responsibilities.

5. Performance Management Records

 Track performance reviews, warnings, and outcomes.
