We have released a suite of fact sheets to help providers, aged care workers, and other stakeholders understand the new strengthened Quality Standards and their obligations in meeting them .

The strengthened Quality Standards will come into effect in line with the commencement of the new Aged Care Act.

In these fact sheets, you will find:

• Key concepts and themes for each strengthened Quality Standard.
• Statements from older people and workers which describe how they feel and act when the Quality Standard is being upheld.
• Information about demonstrating conformance with the Quality Standard.
• Reflective questions for providers.
• Other resources which give you extra detail on the Quality Standards and draft guidance if you are interested in learning more.
