Providers must complete the Audit Evidence Collection Tool (AECT) – Renewal as part of a renewal audit in registration categories 4, 5 and 6. This is compulsory for providers from 1 November 2025.
Providers only need to complete this tool once as part of the audit program.
The renewal audit helps us to understand if the provider can conform with the related strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards.
We use this tool to collect evidence about:
- your systems and processes
- how you deliver high-quality care to older people.
DISCLAIMER
The new Aged Care Act will commence from 1 November 2025 and replaces existing aged care legislation. The Aged Care Rules 2025 will support the new Aged Care Act and provide further information on how the Act will work.
We are publishing this resource in draft form to assist providers to prepare for the new Act. This content remains draft and will be updated after the Aged Care Rules come into force.
