In 2025, aged care facilities should focus on preventative compliance, especially in the areas of cleanliness and infection control. Learn how Veridia’s consulting services can help your aged care facility meet the Standards and improve operational efficiency.
The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC) is moving from reactive to preventative measures of compliance enforcement in 2025, as explained by their new Regulatory Strategy 2024-25. This puts the focus on aged care providers’ risk profiles, which are based on infection prevention and control data, serious incidents, and complaints. As 1029 of the complaints from the most recent report (2022-23) included issues relating to hygiene and cleanliness, this is a key space for providers looking to score higher on the ACQSC’s compliance rating.
The Quality Standards state that the aged care service environment needs to be safe, clean and well-maintained. Acknowledging safety and cleanliness as top priorities is one thing, but actually putting the proper procedures and compliance checks in place is another. That’s where Veridia’s aged care consulting services can make a difference. Keep reading to learn more about our trusted aged care hygiene consults.
What Aged Care Consultants Do
Let’s start with what an aged care consultant does. As a knowledgeable industry professional, your aged care hygiene consultant will conduct a meticulous site analysis, checking current systems, supplies and standards. From there, they will develop smart solutions to meet regulatory compliance and improve performance within the facility.
Why Aged Care Consulting is Important
Aged care labour and hygiene standards go hand in hand. Facilities need enough qualified staff to complete the cleaning and sanitising checklist every day. Aged care consulting takes all these factors into account, from staff requirements to supply stock and cleaning instructions. The best aged care consultant will help you maximise operational efficiency, improve stock management and prioritise compliance.
What to Look for in an Aged Care Consultant
When it comes to aged care consulting, you need a qualified consultant with a unique understanding of aged care chemical systems and compliance. Some of the top qualities to consider before deciding on an aged care hygiene consultant include:
- Experience: how many years have they been in business? Do they focus primarily on aged care with specialist knowledge, or is their experience more general?
- Process: does the consultant clearly outline each step of their service, from the site analysis to business reports and insights? Do they provide continuing education and end-to-end services as well?
- Accreditation: what are their qualifications? Do they offer accreditation education or just a brief overview? What do other facilities say about working with them?
