Navigating the New Aged Care Quality
Standards with Humanetix ACE

In July 2019, the Australian Government introduced a new set of Aged Care Quality Standards to transform how healthcare and aged care providers deliver services to older Australians. These standards set a higher benchmark for quality, safety, and consumer-focused care. As a healthcare and aged care provider, understanding and implementing these standards is crucial to ensuring your residents receive the best care possible.

A closer look at the standards

The new Aged Care Quality Standards tackle several crucial aspects of healthcare and aged care, including:

1. Consumer Dignity and Choice
2. Ongoing Assessment and Planning
3. Personal Care and Clinical Care
4. Services and Supports for Daily Living
5. Organisation's service environment
6. Feedback and complaints
7. Human resources
8. Organisational governance  

Why it matters?

The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that aged care providers meet these standards. Compliance will be monitored through audits and assessments conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. Sanctions, including financial penalties, may be imposed for non-compliance, affecting your organisation's operations and reputation.
