Thrive Lunch and Learn Respecting choice, reducing fear Making sense of Dignity of Risk

In this webinar, we explore Dignity of Risk in Aged Care — what it really means, why it matters, and how health, residential and community aged care teams can confidently support older people to live the life they choose. This session sparked practical discussion around balancing choice, safety and quality of care, particularly when supporting people living with dementia and complex needs. We discuss: • What dignity of risk looks like in everyday aged care practice • Supporting older people to understand risks and potential consequences • How to enable supported decision-making with clients confirming their goals and preferences • Working collaboratively with families and multidisciplinary teams • Creative and practical risk mitigation strategies • Documentation and clinical governance considerations • Why dignity of risk is essential to person-centred care and quality outcomes Dignity of risk is not about removing safety — it’s about respectful conversations, understanding the why behind choices, and empowering older people to maintain independence, identity and meaning in their lives. This webinar is relevant for: Aged care leaders, nurses, personal care workers, allied health professionals, dementia specialists, community care teams, residential aged care providers and quality and clinical governance professionals.
