About the Team The Compliance Case Management section responds to non-compliance of providers with their obligations and conditions on registration under the Aged Care Act 2024. The section is responsible for encouraging and promoting compliance through engagement, education, negotiation and the use of regulatory tools, as part of monitoring activities.

The section takes regulatory action proportionate to risk and uses its powers based on the capability and willingness of providers to take action required. Where providers are unable to demonstrate ability or willingness to mitigate the identified risks in a sustained way, the section will closely case manage the provider, often working with other internal and external stakeholders.
