Blue Care Bundaberg Millbank Aged Care Facility (CLOSED) 5159

Exceptional Circumstances

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission has temporarily modified our Regulatory Program, including the suspension of site audits to determine whether to accredit, not to re-accredit or vary the periods of accreditation for a service. 

In order to give effect to continuity of accreditation the Department of Health has, under Section 42.5 of the Aged Care Act 1997, made a decision to grant ‘exceptional circumstances’ to this service until 04 June 2021.

Accreditation decision

Following a site audit conducted on 13 October 2020 to 15 October 2020, the Commission made a decision on 26 November 2020 to re-accredit this service.

The period of accreditation of the service will expire on 04 December 2023.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 44 of the 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards and would be accredited for three years until 04 December 2020.
