Why we created this
The sector's effort deserves a
spotlight
We work alongside aged care teams every day. We see the
effort, the care, and the commitment that never makes it into any audit
report. These awards exist because the best compliance isn't built by
software - it's built by people who show up and do it right.
On Aged Care Employee Day, we want to make sure those people arenamed, celebrated, and seen by the whole sector.
The Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards
aren't a checklist. They're a culture. And some
people are that culture, every single day.

Four categories. One message.
The people who set the standard deserve to be recognised. Find the category
that fits your nominee.
Everyday Excellence
Consistent, quiet dedication to
resident care. The person who
shows up and gets it right,
every shift, without fanfare.
Leadership in Care
Team leaders and coordinators
who raise the standard of
everyone around them. Their
influence outlasts any audit.
Innovation in
Practice
Fresh thinking applied to
compliance or resident
outcomes. Someone who
found a better way and shared
it with their team.
Commitment to
Standards
Someone who lives the
Strengthened Standards not
because they have to, but
because they genuinely believe
in them.
Three steps.
Two minutes.
We've made it as easy as possible. If you know
