Compliance Case Management (Home Services) The Compliance Case Management (Home Services) section is part of the Commission's Compliance Management Group that manages providers whose poor practices and behavior present the highest risk of harm.
Under the Commission's provider supervision model, Senior Compliance Officers engage with home care providers to incentivize them to manage their performance, risks, and non-compliance with their responsibilities under the Aged Care Act 1997.
The section takes risk-based and proportionate regulatory actions using the Commission's powers where providers continue to be unwilling or unable to prevent risk of harm to older Australians and improve their performance.
The section proactively engages with the sector to gather reliable and validated data to inform the Commission's risk modeling to identify and manage risk of harm appropriately.
