New Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, which will come into effect across Australia from 1 November 2025 under the new Aged Care Act.These reforms mark a significant step forward in ensuring safe, respectful, and high-quality care for older Australians. The updated standards place older people at the centre of care, focusing on consumer dignity and choice, clinical care, daily living supports, feedback and complaints, and governance.
As a rural health service committed to excellence, Boort District Health has already begun aligning its aged care services with the new standards. Our team has undertaken training and internal reviews to ensure compliance and continuous improvement in care delivery. We encourage families, carers, and community members to learn more about the new standards and how they enhance aged care services.
