Serious risk decision
On 30 August 2018 a delegate of the CEO of the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency made a decision that failure by Ozcare to meet one expected outcome in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Ozcare Port Douglas has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of care recipients of the service at serious risk.
An assessment contact was conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) on 22 January 2019 at Ozcare Port Douglas 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.
