Most aged care providers think they're compliant — until the Commission reviews their evidence.
Across readiness reviews for existing providers, the same issues appear repeatedly:
• Care plans that are task-focused rather than person-centred
• Clinical risks identified but not formally assessed using validated tools
• Incident management processes not consistently applied
• Limited documented evidence of governing body oversight
These are exactly the areas ACQSC reviewers examine during provider re-registration.
Many providers only discover these issues after receiving a Request for Information (RFI) from the Commission — at which point the pressure is significant.
Sida Care Services provides independent Strengthened Standards readiness reviews for existing providers.
Identify gaps before the regulator does.
