Compliance monitoring update

An assessment contact was conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) on 03 July 2019 at Bupa Bankstown to monitor the service’s progress in meeting the Accreditation Standards. The Commission found the service complies with all Accreditation Standards.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 35 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards and would be accredited for one year until 20 April 2020.

Serious risk decision

Following a site audit conducted on 14 January 2019 to 16 January 2019 a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that Bupa Aged Care Australia Pty Ltd failed to meet nine expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Bupa Bankstown.

On 5 February 2019 a decision was made that the failure to meet two of these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a care recipient 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 Commission will continue to monitor the performance of the service including through unannounced visits.
