COTA Queensland CHSP Provider Update
The final Standards will take effect from 1 November 2025 in line with the new Aged Care Act.
Until then, the current Aged Care Quality Standards remain in effect.
The final standards contain minor changes following the public consultation on the Aged Care Rules and the legislative drafting process.
Providers are required to comply with the Outcomes in the Standards and demonstrate their conformance with the Standards during audit. The Actions guide providers on how they can demonstrate they comply or conform with the Outcomes.
Further information about how the strengthened Standards have been developed can be found on the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing’s website.

COTA Queensland’s Sector Support and Development team believes every child has the right to be safe, to feel safe and to be protected from harm.
Guided by our organisation’s safeguarding framework, our team has completed a structured risk assessment of our sector-facing activities and undertaken targeted training to strengthen our ability to prevent, identify and respond to child abuse.
We are committed to acting promptly and appropriately if concerns are raised or disclosures occur, and to supporting safe practices across the sector.
