Serious risk decision
Following a review audit conducted on 29 January – 6 February 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that Illawarra Retirement Trust failed to meet 26 expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to IRT Dalmeny.
On 8 April 2019 a decision was made that failure to meet one of these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a consumer of the service at serious risk. The Department of Health has been notified of the risk.
Serious risk is not an ongoing state; it is a statutory decision based on evidence at a point in time.
The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission will continue to monitor the performance of the service including through unannounced visits.
