About the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission \n

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission is the national regulator of Australian Government-funded aged care services. We protect and enhance the safety, health, wellbeing, and quality of life of people receiving aged care. This includes managing complaints and feedback about the care older people receive. We help build confidence and trust in aged care, by promoting best practice and a culture of safety and quality in the sector. We register providers and hold them to account if they don’t meet expected standards of care. We work with providers, workers, older people, their families, and supporters to make sure they understand and uphold older people’s rights. Meet some of our people and learn more about the Commission and our Regulatory Strategy on our website
