Aged care laws in Australia have now changed. The new Aged Care Act 2024 and Aged Care Rules 2025 now apply. While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations and legal responsibilities. Thank you for your patience.

Aged Care Quality Standards draft guidance material – consultation closing soon!

Aged Care Quality Standards draft guidance material – consultation closing soon!

There are only a few weeks left to provide feedback on the draft guidance documents for the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards.

We have developed the resources to help providers and aged care workers understand and meet the strengthened Standards. Your feedback is essential to ensuring they are fit-for-purpose.  

Share your feedback on the following draft documents by midday AEST, 19 May 2024:

  • guidance for providers on strengthened Quality Standards 1-7  
  • audit methodology  
  • evidence framework  
  • guidance for aged care workers  
  • pre-audit preparation tool  
  • request for Information templates
  • glossary of terms.

Your insights will help us ensure that our resources will support the delivery of quality, person-centred aged care. We would also like to know if there is any information or explanation that you think is missing.

The Commission will also be releasing draft guidance resources for older people, their families, and advocates, so keep an eye out, this is coming soon.
