Opal Dubbo

Serious risk decision

On 15 November 2018 a delegate of the CEO of the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency made a decision in relation to Opal Dubbo that failure to meet one expected outcome in the Accreditation Standards placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a care recipient of the service at serious risk.

An assessment contact was conducted on 15 January 2019 at Opal Dubbo to monitor the service’s progress. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission found the service complies with all Accreditation Standards.

Serious risk is not an ongoing state; it is a statutory decision based on evidence at a point in time.
