National Framework

The National Framework for High Quality Person-Centred Care for Older People is now available. 

This is a cross-setting, evidence-based framework to monitor the quality and safety of health and aged care services provided to older people in Australia.

The National Framework was developed by the ACAC Investigators, Partners and the Framework Development Working Group. We also acknowledge the National Quality Indicator Expert Panellists who reviewed and critically appraised the identified quality indicators, and the organisations who provided thoughtful feedback and critical input during the consultation process.
