Which rules apply, market by market

This build reads four Australian care-quality frameworks. For each market below: what this product holds for a provider there, and what it does not. Where a regime is not held, it is named and its text is not stated.

United States

The NDIS Practice Standards and the Aged Care Quality Standards are Australian instruments. A provider in the United States is not governed by them, and this product holds no United States care-quality framework. Named, not held.

If you are a United States provider, nothing on this site is your care-quality obligation. The four frameworks here attach to an Australian provider.

European Union

The European Union regimes this estate holds govern health data processing, not care-quality standards. They do not apply to a care-quality obligation. Named, not held for the care obligation.

United Kingdom

UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act govern personal data, not care quality. They are not the care-quality obligation. Named, not held for the care obligation.

Australia

All four held frameworks apply to an Australian NDIS or aged care provider, and they are the reason this product exists. This is a deliberate Australian niche.

Which of the four attaches to you turns on your registration groups and the services you deliver: the NDIS Practice Standards and their modules follow what you are registered to provide, the aged care standards follow the funded aged care services you deliver, the registration rules follow your registration, and the code of conduct follows everyone providing supports, registered or not. The requirement pages state, for each requirement, what it is conditional on.

A change you have to notify

The registration rules carry the notification duties: a change to contact details or to scale, a significant event, and a change of ownership each start a clock. Describe the change once and the notifiable change checker works out who to notify and by when; the rules behind it are readable here from s13 and s13A.
