The department has made updates to the material change form to make it clearer what information you need to provide when submitting a change, including in relation to third parties.
Approved providers are required to notify any change of circumstance that materially affects their suitability to be a provider of aged care within 28 days of the change occurring.

• has a change in key personnel, such as the departure of the Director of Nursing or executive management.
