Quality Standards
Audit-ready at all times — not just before an assessment.
The 8 Aged Care Quality Standards define the outcomes providers must achieve. Statura Care's Quality Standards module structures your self-assessment process, automatically maps evidence from every active module, and maintains a continuous improvement register — so you're always assessment-ready, not scrambling before an ACQSC visit.
The Challenge
ACQSC assessments can happen at any time — announced or unannounced. If your evidence is scattered across filing cabinets, shared drives, and individual knowledge, you're at risk. Preparing for an assessment shouldn't be a three-month project. It should be the natural output of day-to-day compliance work.
Key Capabilities
What the Quality Standards module does.
Self-Assessment Engine
Assess compliance at the outcome level for each of the 8 Quality Standards. Rate each outcome as Compliant, Partially Compliant, Non-Compliant, or Not Assessed — with narrative reasoning and evidence references.
Cross-Module Evidence Mapping
Evidence flows in from every active module automatically. SIRS incident data feeds Standard 8. Workforce staffing data feeds Standard 7. Complaints data feeds Standard 6. You build evidence through normal operations, not manual collection.
Continuous Improvement Register
Every non-compliance or partial compliance triggers an improvement action with tracking: what needs improving, who's responsible, due date, progress updates, completion evidence, and verification.
Assessment Cycle Management
Rolling assessment schedule so you're not assessing all 8 standards at once. Set frequency per standard (default 6 months), assign assessors, and track when each standard is next due.
Audit Preparation Pack
Generate a comprehensive digital audit binder for ACQSC assessment contacts. Includes all self-assessments, mapped evidence, improvement actions, and cross-module data — structured the way assessors expect to see it.
Compliance Dashboard
Visual heatmap across all 8 standards showing outcome-level compliance status. Instantly identify gaps, track improvement over time, and report to your governing body with confidence.
Regulatory Requirements
What the law requires.
The Aged Care Act 2024 (ss146–147) sets specific obligations that this module helps you meet systematically.
Continuous Self-Assessment
Providers must continuously assess their compliance against the 8 Quality Standards.
Evidence Documentation
Compliance must be supported by documented evidence — not just assertions.
Continuous Improvement
A systematic continuous improvement approach is a registration condition.
Assessment Readiness
ACQSC assessments can occur at any time. Providers must be able to demonstrate compliance on demand.
