About the Better Practice Awards
Meeting the Accreditation Standards means that the aged care home provides quality care and services for its residents. The Better Practice Awards promote and recognise improvement and better practice in aged care homes that succeed in going above and beyond.
The Better Practice Awards are annual awards presented for any projects, initiatives or programs that act as exemplars for other aged care homes to assist and encourage improvement to care and services for residents.
Each year these awards will encourage homes to submit their projects, initiatives and programs to gain recognition, to promote and recognise better practice in five categories and show how they contribute to the quality of life for residents.
The Better Practice Awards also provide the industry and consumers with information on better practices in residential aged care that can be widely adopted.
Nominations for the 2012 awards will open 1 May and run through to 31 May 2012. Now is the time to evaluate your projects, initiatives and programs and start planning your Better Practice Award.
