Welcome to the Survey of Consumer Experience of Residential Aged Care

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (Commission) is planning to visit your aged care service. The purpose of the visit is to assess whether the quality of care and services being provided to you and other consumers meets the Aged Care Quality Standards.

The Commission is a separate entity to MyAgedCare. The Commission does not determine your level of care, funding or government benefits, and none of these will be affected by any feedback you choose to give. As part of this visit, you would have seen a poster or received a letter inviting you to complete this survey.

This survey seeks to understand your experience living in the residential aged care service.

Please note the Commission ID that was provided to you in the letter or poster. You will need to have this ID number on hand before you complete the survey, as it enables us to identify your service.

You may choose to remain anonymous when you complete this survey.

The following kinds of personal and sensitive information may be collected (optional):
• your name, address, gender, and contact or identity details
• your feedback about your aged care service

The responses you provide will be included in the information used in a site visit to assess your aged care service’s performance under the Aged Care Quality Standards. Your responses may be used for research within the Commission or by agencies acting on behalf of the Commission. Where you have indicated that you consent for follow up of your survey, you may or may not be contacted by a member of the team conducting the Quality Audit of your service.
