About us

Find out about our office, the Inspector-General, and the principles that guide our work.

About Us

We are the legislated, independent body that provides systemic oversight of the aged care system. We do not investigate or examine individual cases, but instead focus on shining a light on the systemic issues that are the greatest barriers or opportunities for change in the government’s administration of aged care. 

We promote transparency, highlight system-wide issues and good practice. We do this with the aim of driving meaningful change to enable kind, compassionate, high-quality care for all.

Vision

Our vision is an aged care system where every person receives kind, compassionate, high-quality care that promotes their rights, identity and independence.

Purpose

Our purpose is to ensure integrity and accountability of the aged care system through independent, informed oversight. We drive meaningful change by calling out serious barriers and holding up to the light models that would create the meaningful improvement needed to achieve this vision
