Your Rights and Responsibilities

At Resthaven, we are committed to supporting and protecting the rights of our residents and clients, while recognising their responsibilities as well.

This commitment is part of our ongoing aim to deliver high quality services, meeting the needs of the people we support.

Living in a residential community environment at Resthaven involves being accorded certain rights and accepting the responsibilities associated with living with others. Resthaven encourages feedback for quality improvement.

From time to time, meetings for all residents are held to discuss issues and planning matters. These meetings are a useful forum for issues and opinions to be raised with management.

Resthaven encourages feedback and welcomes your suggestions for improvement.

View the Charter of Residents’ Rights and Responsibilities – Residential Care, (Australian Government, Department of Social Services).

You are welcome to visit our feedback page or send us your comments via email.

A Restraint Free Approach

Resthaven practices a restraint free approach wherever possible, and does not support any restraint action or device that does not have the consent of the resident/client/representative.

What is a restraint free approach?

A restraint free approach means no restrictive practice, words, devices or actions will interfere with a person’s ability to make a decision or restrict their free movement.

Resthaven residents and clients are provided with restraint free options to ensure their safety.

Restraint free approaches may include:

• Individual and group social activities
• Safe walking areas
• Appropriate signage and visual reminders to aid orientation
• Alarm systems used to alert staff of a resident’s whereabouts.

Resthaven staff ensure that resident needs, such as hunger and thirst, continence management, or unrelieved pain, are promptly attended to and managed.
