Application for re-accreditation

Important update:

The Commission traditionally welcomes applications for reaccreditation from residential aged care services up to 6 months prior to the accreditation expiry date of the service. This allows the Commission sufficient time to conduct the site audit process and complete a performance report. 

Given the imminent commencement of the new Aged Care Act from 1 July 2025, which will result in all residential aged care services being allocated a single provider level registration expiry date, the Commission will not be undertaking reaccreditation audits for those services with an accreditation expiry date after 1 July 2025. 

Please do not submit an application for reaccreditation for a residential aged care service with an expiry post 1 July 2025. If you have already submitted an application for reaccreditation for a service which expires after 1 July 2025, the Commission will shortly be in contact to provide a refund for any fees paid.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (the ‘Department’) is in the process of deeming government funded approved aged care providers to registration categories as specified in the new Aged Care Act. You can find further information about the registration ‘deeming’ process on the Department’s website. This process will include advising providers of their new registration expiry date.
