Standard 4: The environment

Publication date

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 4 is about people receiving care and services in an environment that is safe, supportive and meets their needs. Good infection prevention and control (IPC) practices are a key part of service delivery to protect people in care, their family, carers and staff.
