Blue Care Redcliffe Aged Care Facility

Serious risk decision

Following a re-accreditation audit conducted 7-10 May 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that The Uniting Church in Australia Property Trust (Q.)  failed to meet nine expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Blue Care Radcliffe Aged Care Facility.

On 13 June 2019, a decision was made that failure to meet three o.f these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of consumers of the service at serious risk. The Department of Health has been notified of the risk.

Serious risk is not an ongoing state; it is a statutory decision based on evidence at a point in time.

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission will continue to monitor the performance of the service including through unannounced visits.
