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 04 October 2021.

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