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 11 August 2021.

Non-compliance update

Following an assessment contact conducted on 26 November 2019, the Commission made a decision on 3 January 2020 that the approved provider of the service is non-compliant with one requirement of the Quality Standards.

Following an audit we decided that this service met 35 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards and would be accredited for one year until 11 August 2020.

Serious risk decision

On 27 April 2018 a delegate of the CEO of the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency made a decision that failure by Fairview Care Limited to meet one expected outcome in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Fairview Nursing Home and that this failure has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of care recipients of the service at serious risk.

An assessment contact was conducted by the Quality Agency on 10 July 2018 at Fairview Nursing Home to monitor the service’s progress. The Quality Agency 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 11 August 2019.
