We have released a suite of fact sheets to help providers, aged care workers, and other stakeholders understand the new strengthened Quality Standards and their obligations in meeting them .
The strengthened Quality Standards will come into effect in line with the commencement of the new Aged Care Act.
Strengthened Quality Standard 2 recognises that it’s the responsibility of the governing body to set strategic priorities and encourage a culture of safety and quality. Staff and governance systems are key to the delivery of safe, quality, effective and person-centred care for every person.
