Guidelines for the Responsible Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Aged Care

This template (updated in June 2026) supports aged care providers to develop internal Guidelines for the responsible use of generative AI. It is intended for any organisation using AI to assist with tasks such as administration, client communication, or report writing. The document helps staff understand their responsibilities when selecting and using AI tools, offering practical guidance to ensure use is safe, ethical, and aligned with organisational values. It can be adapted to reflect more complex uses of AI and should be used alongside an internal AI Policy to support consistent, informed, and accountable practice across the organisation.

The Implementation Guide is a practical, step-by-step resource that helps aged care organisations embed their AI Guidelines into everyday practice. It walks providers through four key stages: tailoring the guidelines to fit their services, workshopping them with staff, formalising them into internal policy, and establishing an approach for ongoing monitoring and review. The guide supports safe, consistent, and values-aligned use of generative AI across aged care settings.
