The Aged Care Professional Scheme has been developed by RABQSA International, Inc (RABQSA) for the recognition of Professional’s using the Aged Care Principles from the Department of Health and Ageing Aged Care Act 1997 to conduct consultancy audits at residential aged care facilities.

Consultancy audits prepare the residential aged care facility for desk audits, site audits and review audits against Accreditation Standards conducted by Registered Aged Care Assessors.

The RABQSA Aged Care Professional Certification Requirements determine an Applicant’s qualifications to perform consultancy audits. The requirements outline specific knowledge, qualifications, industry experience, and personal attributes that must be demonstrated for RABQSA Certification.

In addition to the Certification Requirements, Scopes have been defined to recognize the professionals’ qualifications and experience working with diverse cultures and communities; and professional experience of medication management, lodgment assessments, and facility management.
