Reporting accurate details when a care recipient passes away

Published: 25 March 2025

When someone in your care passes away, it’s important you tell us the exact date of their death. You can do this in the Aged Care Provider Portal (ACPP).

You’ll need to register a departure event in the ACPP, selecting ‘deceased’ as the departure reason.

Make sure you check the date of death is correct before submitting your event. If you don’t, it may result in the following:

  • suspended payments
  • incorrectly cancelled letters
  • recovery of payments
  • incorrect payments to your service.

Find out how to register residential care events in the Aged Care Provider Portal (ACPP).
