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.
