What’s changing

With the new Aged Care Act and strengthened standards coming into effect on 1 July 2025, there’s a lot to navigate, but you don’t have to do it alone. We can help you have a smooth transition.
The Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards introduce significant updates, including:
  • Enhanced Clinical Care Standards – Greater focus on governance, safety, and risk management.
  • Person-Centred Care – Individual needs and preferences are a top priority.
  • Cultural Safety – Increased focus on inclusive and culturally appropriate care, especially for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
  • Workforce Competency – Mandatory training requirements for all staff to meet new compliance standards.

What this means for you

The new Aged Care Act is more than a policy update—it directly impacts how your facility operates, the care you provide, and the training your staff requires.

What our clients say

Very Helpful!

They've been very helpful in providing support in terms of governance and thinking about how systems should look in relation to compliance, how we should be thinking about systems efficiency, where we might have risks across the board.
