Serious risk decision
Following an assessment contact conducted on 8 November 2018, a delegate of the CEO of the Quality Agency made a decision that Snowy Monaro Regional Council failed to meet three expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Yallambee Lodge.
On 4 December 2018 a decision was made that the failure to meet one 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 Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission will continue to monitor the performance of the service including through unannounced visits.
