Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about the 7 Quality Standards.
What are the 7 Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards?
The 7 Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards took effect on 1 November 2025 and apply to all registered aged care providers. They are: Standard 1 (The Individual), Standard 2 (The Organisation), Standard 3 (The Care and Services), Standard 4 (The Environment), Standard 5 (Clinical Care), Standard 6 (Food and Nutrition), and Standard 7 (The Residential Community). Standards 1—–6 apply to both residential care and Support at Home providers. Standard 7 applies specifically to residential care.
How does self-assessment work in Statura Care?
Statura Care's Quality Standards module lets you rate compliance against each standard's requirements, map evidence from across all 35 modules, identify gaps with automated analysis, and generate audit preparation packs. Evidence from SIRS, workforce, complaints, and other modules automatically populates relevant standards.
How often should providers self-assess against the Quality Standards?
Self-assessment against the Quality Standards is required for all registered providers, whether delivering residential care or Support at Home services. The ACQSC recommends continuous self-assessment rather than point-in-time exercises. Best practice is to conduct formal reviews quarterly with ongoing evidence collection between reviews. Statura Care supports both approaches with real-time compliance dashboards and scheduled assessment workflows.
What is an ACQSC assessment contact?
An assessment contact is a visit or review conducted by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission to evaluate a provider's compliance with the Quality Standards. Assessment contacts apply to both residential aged care and Support at Home providers. They can be announced or unannounced and may focus on specific standards or cover all seven. Providers who maintain continuous self-assessment evidence are significantly better prepared.
Can Statura Care generate audit preparation packs?
Yes. Statura Care generates comprehensive audit preparation packs that compile evidence across all 7 Quality Standards, including self-assessment ratings, mapped evidence from SIRS, workforce, complaints, and other modules, gap analysis, and improvement action tracking.
