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.
Aged care homes receive an Overall Star Rating between one and five.
More stars means an aged care home is delivering higher quality care across the four key areas of measured performance:
- Residents' Experience,
- Compliance,
- Staffing and
- Quality Measures.
Star Ratings are updated regularly to help you make informed decisions about the aged care homes you might be considering.
To check an aged care home’s Star Ratings you can use the Find a Provider tool on the My Aged Care website.
