An assessment contact was conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) on 27 August 2019 at Pemulwuy Aged Care to monitor the service’s progress in meeting the Accreditation Standards. The Commission found the service complies with all Accreditation Standards.

Following an audit we decided that this home met 28 of 44 expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards. We decided to vary this home's accreditation period. This home is now accredited until 19 March 2020.

Serious risk decision

Following a review audit conducted on 11 - 14 February 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that Allity Pty Ltd failed to meet 16 expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to Pemulwuy Aged Care.

On 13 March 2019 a decision was made that failure to meet four of these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of consumers 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.

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 31 July 2021.

This is a new home and is accredited for one year until 31 July 2018. We made the decision on 31 July 2017.
