The new Aged Care Act puts the rights of older people first.
If you're looking for an aged care home,
Star Ratings can help you compare quality and safety across different homes.
The Compliance rating is based on how providers are performing in relation to government regulations and standards about the safety and quality of care.
The Staffing rating is based on whether the home meets or exceeds their care minutes targets.
Care minutes are the total amount of nursing and personal care time provided by a registered nurse, enrolled nurse, personal care worker or assistant in nursing.
To check an aged care home’s Star Ratings you can use the Find a Provider tool on the My Aged Care website.
