Preparing for your Quality Review – a workshop for home care providers
Preparing for your Quality Review – a workshop for home care providers

Workshop overview
A quality review by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (the Commission), the regulators of home and community care providers, is conducted at least once every three years. It is the process of reviewing the quality of services delivered against the Aged Care Quality Standards.
Every home and community care provider has to show the Commission that it meets these standards. This is assessed through monitoring visits, reviews, and feedback from those receiving care and services. The results are published in the Find a provider tool on the My Aged Care website for consumers.
This workshop develops the competency of home and community care providers to conduct their own internal quality assurance activities in order to self-assess their preparedness for a quality review by the Commission, and fine tunes the abilities of those with an interest in quality to initiate, lead and report on quality assurance activities.
