Lantern Alliance Quality Standards Symposium - QS 2: The Organisation

Access to the meeting is online via Zoom.

Quality Standard 2: The Organisation

In 2025, Lantern Alliance will be running a series of comprehensive, online, symposiums designed to engage key stakeholders, industry professionals, and thought leaders in meaningful conversations about the challenges, opportunities, and best practices for implementing and complying with the strengthened Quality Standards.

Each monthly symposium will focus on one of the Quality Standards and its connection to the food, nutrition, and dining experience. As a part of each session, we will be hosting a panel session which will bring together leading experts, professionals, and residents to discuss the implications of the strengthened standards for aged care providers, carers, catering staff and of course residents.

QS 2 - INTENT

The intent of Standard 2 is to hold the governing body responsible for meeting the requirements of the Quality Standards and delivering quality care and services.

The governing body sets the strategic priorities for the organisation and promotes a culture of safety and quality. The governing body is also responsible for driving and monitoring improvements to care and services, informed by engagement with older people, family, carers and workers, and data and information on care quality.

A provider’s governance systems and workforce are critical to the delivery of safe, quality, effective and person-centred care for every older person, and continuous care and services improvement.
