Residential Aged Care Quality Indicators

Quality indicators measure aspects of service provision that contribute to the quality of care given by residential aged care services. Since 1 July 2019, participation in the National Aged Care Mandatory Quality Indicator Program (QI Program) has been a requirement for all Australian Government-subsidised residential aged care services. The QI Program requires these services to collect and report on the following quality indicators: pressure injuries, use of physical restraint, unplanned weight loss, falls and major injury, and medication management.
