Provider Institute Best Practice Tip
This new regulatory strategy is a big shift for the aged care sector, and providers need to update their processes accordingly. Compliance is now about more than just meeting basic standards—it’s about building a culture of accountability and transparency. Providers should include quality assurance in their daily work to stay adaptable to changing expectations and demonstrate a strong commitment to high-quality care.
The focus on proactive risk management means providers must take a forward-looking approach, with monitoring systems that help identify risks early. This approach not only protects older Australians but also strengthens the provider’s reputation, helping to build trust and confidence in aged care. By adopting these changes, the aged care sector can move toward a model that prioritises dignity, safety, and quality for all.
