  • discusses what it means to offer specialist care and characteristics of aged care services that nominate each specialisation
  • discusses possible verification approaches, the strengths and limitations of each, and a tiered approach to differentiate between stronger and weaker specialisation criteria
  • describes the feasibility and usability testing stages and their outcomes
  • presents a proposed specialisation verification framework 
  • provides recommendations for implementation supports and ongoing monitoring and updates to the framework.
