Serious risk decision
Following an assessment contact conducted on 25 March 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that Southern Cross Care (NSW & ACT) Limited failed to meet one expected outcome in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Southern Cross Care St Francis Residential Aged Care.
On 30 April 2019 a decision was made that failure to meet this expected outcome has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a consumer 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.
