Statura Care ACQS compliance platform
Aged care Quality Standards software
Make the evidence behind your assessment easier to review.
Bring self-assessments, supporting records and improvement actions into your quality review. Start with the standards that apply to your services and follow the work behind each recorded status.

Standards evidence
From assessment to action
Trace the evidence behind the status.
A self-assessment records your team’s judgement. Evidence and improvement actions provide the context to review it. Statura keeps those records visible without treating an evidence count as proof of compliance.
Explore the incident and quality tour- Record the self-assessment
- Review the applicable standard and record your team's assessment. Keep the reasoning and evidence links with that assessment.
- Inspect the supporting evidence
- See linked evidence counts alongside the recorded assessment status. Open the supporting records to review their relevance and currency.
- Follow improvement actions
- Review open actions linked to standards, then follow the work needed to resolve the issue. Include ownership, due dates and the evidence needed for review in your evaluation.
- Prepare the evidence
- Export the standards overview and use the linked evidence workspaces. Check gaps and supporting records before presenting the material to leadership or an assessor.
The strengthened framework
Seven standards. Start with your service scope.
The applicable standards and outcomes depend on your registration categories and services. Standards 6 and 7 apply to residential care; confirm your full scope before planning the assessment.
Read the Commission’s standards guidance1 The Individual
Assess how well your organisation treats older people with dignity, respects their choices, identity, culture, and autonomy. Link evidence from care plans, consumer feedback, and consent records.
2 The Organisation
Evaluate governance structure, leadership accountability, culture of safety and quality, and workforce governance. Evidence from board minutes, risk registers, and management records.
3 The Care and Services
Review personal care, clinical care, and support services for safety, effectiveness, and person-centredness. Track care plans, assessments, and incident responses.
4 The Environment
Assess whether service environments are safe, comfortable, welcoming, and meet consumers' needs. Monitor maintenance, equipment, and hazard management.
5 Clinical Care
Evaluate clinical governance, medication management, infection prevention, wound care, palliative care, and clinical deterioration response. Map evidence from clinical records and incident reports.
6 Food and Nutrition
Review food service quality, dietary requirements, nutritional assessment, meal preferences, and cultural food needs. Track menu planning and consumer satisfaction.
7 The Residential Community
Assess community life, social connections, meaningful activities, and how the residential setting supports quality of life. Evidence from activity programs, consumer feedback, and community engagement.
Bring one issue. Follow it through.
Bring a fictional or anonymised quality-review example. Ask your quality manager and an operational lead to follow the same issue from assessment to improvement.
- Set the scope
- Identify your registration categories, services and applicable standards. Check that the provider view reflects the work you need to assess.
- Inspect the assessment
- Review the recorded status, reasoning and evidence links. Distinguish the provider's self-assessment from a regulator's determination.
- Test the follow-up
- Open an improvement action and check its owner, due date and supporting evidence. Include an incomplete or overdue example.
- Check the output
- Export the overview and inspect the supporting pack. Check what is included, missing or out of date before sharing it.
Agree your starting modules, evidence migration and permissions during evaluation. The illustrated workspace uses fictional data and shows an excerpt of the standards overview.
Questions about ACQS software
What is ACQS compliance software?
ACQS compliance software helps providers manage Quality Standards self-assessments, evidence records, gaps and improvement actions. Statura Care connects this work with care, incidents, workforce and governance across residential care, home care and Support at Home.
What are the 7 Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards?
The Strengthened Quality Standards cover the Individual, the Organisation, Care and Services, the Environment, Clinical Care, Food and Nutrition, and the Residential Community. Their application depends on registration category and services. Standards 6 and 7 apply to residential care.
How does self-assessment work in Statura Care?
Review the standards applicable to your service, record your assessment and connect supporting evidence from configured modules. Assign gaps and improvement actions to owners, then review progress and evidence before an assessment contact. Software supports that review; it does not determine the regulator's assessment.
How often should providers self-assess against the Quality Standards?
Set a documented review cycle that reflects your applicable requirements, service scope and risks. Keep evidence and improvement actions current between formal reviews, including after incidents or material service changes. Statura Care supports ongoing evidence collection and scheduled review workflows.
What is an ACQSC assessment contact?
An assessment contact is part of the Commission's oversight of provider compliance. Prepare the evidence relevant to your service, including self-assessment records, recent incidents, complaints and improvement actions. Confirm the scope of any contact with the Commission rather than assuming every review covers every standard.
Can Statura Care generate audit preparation packs?
Export the standards overview and use the linked evidence workspaces to prepare your supporting records. Review the pack contents and missing evidence for the standards and modules in scope before using it in governance or an assessment process.
