Keep informed with regular insights, data, reports and analysis of aged care industry trends and issues
In our most recent survey, involving 192 Australian aged care organisations, we uncovered more on the industry’s struggle with care minute data management. The survey findings underscore the need for targeted support in managing AN-ACC care minute data. As the majority express concerns or uncertainty, it is clear that there is a shared challenge within the industry.
The Commission’s utilisation of various information sources to construct a comprehensive risk profile for each provider assures that no stone will be left unturned, building on earlier discussions with the Commission. Mirus Australia have been passionately working on addressing the complexities of care minutes and the AN-ACC framework from multiple angles.

Under the new Regulatory model, risk-based monitoring will rely on data and regulatory insights to identify potential risks or issues that necessitate additional scrutiny and, if needed, a response in relation to identified risks.
With the recent enforcement of mandated care minutes, we find ourselves in a precarious situation in the aged care sector. There’s a fine balance between maintaining occupancy and managing workforce costs efficiently, all while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
