62  Plans for continuous improvement required for accredited services, residential services and home care services
 (1) The approved provider of an accredited service or a residential service and the home service provider of a home service must have a plan for continuous improvement for the service.
 (2) A plan for continuous improvement for a service is a written plan that sets out:
 (a) how the provider of the service will:
 (i) assess the quality of care and services provided through the service against the Aged Care Quality Standards; and
 (ii) monitor and improve the quality of care and services as measured against those Standards; and
 (b) if there are any areas in which improvements in relation to the service are needed to ensure that the Aged Care Quality Standards are complied with—how the provider of the service will make those improvements.
Note 1: Standard 8 of the Aged Care Quality Standards requires a provider to have an effective organisation wide governance system relating to continuous improvement.
Note 2: The provider may be directed to revise the plan for continuous improvement under section 63A.
