Serious risk decision

Following a review audit conducted on 29 January – 6 February 2019, a delegate of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner made a decision that Illawarra Retirement Trust failed to meet 26 expected outcomes in the Accreditation Standards in relation to IRT Dalmeny.

On 8 April 2019 a decision was made that failure to meet one of these expected outcomes has placed the safety, health or wellbeing of a consumer 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 21 September 2020.
