Consultation on the revised Aged Care Quality Standards is open now until 25 November 2022.

The Department is conducting an urgent review of the Aged Care Quality Standards, as recommended by the Royal Commission, and is seeking feedback on a new, strengthened version of the standards.

The Quality Standards provide a shared understanding of what is expected in aged care, and are a valuable resource for older Australians, their families, providers and staff alike.

To find out more about the revised Aged Care Quality Standards and have your say, please register for an online focus group, read the consultation paper(s), view our webinar and complete the survey.
