Overview

Public consultation is now open on 3 new staffing quality indicators for the National Aged Care Mandatory Quality Indicator Program. Read the consultation paper, submit your feedback and get involved in co-design workshops.

The new quality will increase the Quality Indicator Program for residential aged care from 11 to 14 indicators. The new indicators will focus on:

  • enrolled nursing
  • allied health
  • lifestyle services.

These indicators aim to understand the impact of the new 24/7 nursing requirements on the aged care workforce.

We’re working with HealthConsult, University of Queensland’s Centre for Health Services Research and the Registry of Senior Australians to develop the indicators. HealthConsult will lead the development of the new staffing quality indicators for the Australian Government.

We have released a consultation paper about the new indicators for public consultation.

We are also going to conduct a 6-week pilot to test the new indicators in real aged care homes. Providers can contact QI@healthconsult.com.au to register for the pilot.
