The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety has presented its Final Report to Government, after two years of taking evidence and submissions from across aged care.
The Final Report is long and complex, over five volumes, with many findings and 148 recommendations made to Government and to our sector.
ACSA will be analysing it and providing advice to members over the next few days. This process may take some time.
The Royal Commission Report makes recommendations to Government and to the sector. The recommendations themselves have no legal standing. It is up to Government and industry to respond.
However, the Royal Commission has captured much public attention and there will be an expectation from the Australian community that we as providers respond positively to recommendations, and Government responds quickly to recommendations directed at it.
