Exceptional Circumstances

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission has temporarily modified our Regulatory Program, including the suspension of site audits to determine whether to accredit, not to re-accredit or vary the periods of accreditation for a service. 

In order to give effect to continuity of accreditation the Department of Health has, under Section 42.5 of the Aged Care Act 1997, made a decision to grant ‘exceptional circumstances’ to this service until 05 November 2021.

The service remains subject to compliance monitoring by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.

Serious risk decision

On 28 September 2018 a delegate of the CEO of the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency made a decision that failure by Esperance Aged Care Facility Inc. to meet one expected outcome in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Esperance Aged Care Facility has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a care recipient of the service at serious risk.

An assessment contact was conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission on 5 February 2019 to 6 February 2019 at Esperance Aged Care Facility to monitor the service’s progress. The Commission found the service complies with all Accreditation Standards.

Serious risk is not an ongoing state; it is a statutory decision based on evidence at a point in time.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 44 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards and would be accredited for three years until 05 May 2021.
