Your Rights
At AnglicareCQ we recognise that everyone has the right to respect and care without discrimination, and to be made aware of their rights and responsibilities.
You will be given information about services for which you are eligible. We believe the more informed you are, the better equipped you are to participate in and make decisions about the care or other services you receive.
You have the right to an advocate to assist you or represent you at any time. This may be a friend, family member, or an independent external agency.
We welcome people from diverse backgrounds. If you need assistance such as an interpreter to talk through your care with us, we know agencies that can help.
At AnglicareCQ we believe you are the best person to tell us how we can assist. We will include you in decisions that directly affect you.
We will treat you and any feedback you give us with privacy and confidentiality, and act according to ethical principles, legislative requirements and best practice.
AnglicareCQ believes in the inherent human rights of all of our participants, and in the human rights in law protected by Queensland’s Human Rights Act 2019. We are committed to upholding these rights, ensuring that our participants are aware of, and know how to exercise their rights.
