GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE
The Strengthened Quality Standards now come into effect in line with the commencement of the new Aged Care Act in November this year. These strengthened Standards are designed to deliver a better aged care experience. They explain what safe quality care should look like. They also help providers to lift their performance and deliver the care that older Australians need and expect.
The new Aged Care Act
Key changes mean that the Act now incorporates altered standards for accreditation, greater protection for resident’s rights, revised oversight and accreditation processes from the ACQSC, and an increased focus on food and nutrition.
“At Emmy Monash, we place a large emphasis on robust governance — because we recognise that best practice starts at the top.”
ROD NIRENS, PRESIDENT AND CHAIR OF GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
The Strengthened QUALITY STANDARDS
Delivering person-centred care has been embedded into our organisation well before these standards were introduced. In fact, our recent performance audit came back overwhelmingly positive; we not only complied with every requirement, but we exceeded them considerably. So for us, it is simply a matter of refining and enhancing our current approach.
