The first article in this series, Sleep Well at Night - Mapping the Old to the New - Standard 1, provided an overview of what needs to be completed against the new Aged Care Quality Standards by July 1.

That article also introduced a series of tools created by the Aged Care Essentials editorial team. These Mapping Matrix tools map the old Accreditation Standards to the new Aged Care Quality Standards, allowing you to evaluate your current systems and practices systematically.
