Is your service rights-focused and ready?
Prioritising and demonstrating an inclusive, rights-based approach is crucial to make sure all older people receive respectful, equitable and person-centered care.
This approach not only meets regulatory requirements but also builds trust, enhances service quality, and protects the dignity of older adults, enabling choice and control.
Don’t just comply – excel and make a meaningful impact!
Strengthened Quality Standards
The strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards emphasise a rights-based approach, prioritising diversity, inclusion and quality care.
Understanding how diversity and wellness are embedded in the Standards will help you create services that promote equity, empowerment and respect.
Meeting the strengthened Quality Standards will help you to demonstrate to older people that your organisation delivers inclusive services that honours every older person’s rights.
The strengthened Quality Standards form part of the regulatory requirements under the Support at Home program.
