The Quality Standards Resource Centre helps extend understanding of the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, which take effect from 1 November 2025. The Resource Centre will be updated to reflect key changes made to the draft strengthened Standards. You can search for resources by using keywords, or filtering by standard, outcome, audience and theme. Before using the Resource Centre, please read the terms of use.
Australian Centre for Evidence Based Aged Care - Resources
This resource provides a collection of tools and guidelines for improving person-centred care in aged care settings. It includes assessments on care personalisation, pain management, staff-family relationships, and support for sexuality and decision-making for people with dementia.
This resource was developed by a state/territory government or organisation and therefore its applicability and usefulness may be limited.
The new Financial and Prudential Standards
The new Financial and Prudential Standards will be introduced with the commencement of the new Aged Care Act. The new Standards set out the minimum requirements for good financial and prudential management of registered aged care providers. Registered providers must comply with the Financial and Prudential Standards that apply to them as a condition of their registration.
