Standard 6: Food and nutrition

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 .

Strengthened Quality Standard 6 is about working with older people to find out what they like to eat and drink. Serving a choice of meals and drinks can make a huge difference to people receiving care’s quality of life. This Standard only applies to residential aged care services.
