Consultation to develop the quality indicators
We have been consulting extensively with the sector and aged care experts to develop the quality indicators, including through:
- an evidence-based literature review
- national stakeholder consultations, both virtual and written
- expert consultations
- testing with providers and stakeholders
- trials in aged care services.
New staffing quality indicators for residential aged care
We completed public consultation on 3 new staffing quality indicators for residential aged care in June 2024.
Almost 70 residential aged care providers took part in a 6-week pilot to test these indicators.
The consultation and pilot showed overall support for quality indicators for nursing, allied health and lifestyle services.
