Our approach to aged care facilities
myBuildings is a practical, scalable, configurable and complete facilities management system to help you protect and maximise asset value for aged care facilities.
We know that care providers are facing increasing pressure, after legislation changes in late 2025, our system can help you understand where your expenditure is going, forecast for replacements and reduce your reactive costs, ensuring your facility remains viable for the long term.
The New Aged Care Act 2024, which commenced on
1 November 2025, represents a major reform to Australia’s aged care system, in response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
It affects both government and privately funded providers, as your financial sustainability is now directly linked to how well your facilities are managed and maintained. The Act also indirectly influences the physical infrastructure of aged care buildings, by linking maintenance and design to quality standards, ensuring environments support safe, dignified care.
For Facility Managers - often classified as "responsible persons" under the Act - this means heightened operational oversight, risk management, and compliance duties. They play a pivotal role as they are responsible for compliance, focusing on preventing adverse effects to residents' health and safety. Breaches can lead to personal liability, civil penalties, compensation claims, or banning orders from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC).
Key Impacts for Facility Managers
The Act ties building maintenance to the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (particularly Standard 4: The Environment), requiring facilities to provide safe, dignified, and supportive physical spaces.
While not prescribing specific building codes, it influences design and upkeep to align with resident rights, quality care, and audit compliance. Facilities must go beyond minimum National Construction Code requirements to support ongoing operations, accreditation, and risk reduction.
There is an enhanced focus on fire safety, accessibility (e.g., for mobility aids), infection control (e.g., ventilation), and environmental maintenance to prevent harm. Buildings must facilitate 24/7 care delivery, including spaces for staff and technology integration (e.g., remote monitoring, electronic records). Regular upgrades are needed to maintain compliance during audits, yet disruptions must be minimised to avoid impacting residents.
Facilities will require secure IT systems for digital compliance and care tools. Smaller or regional buildings may need targeted upgrades to meet liquidity-linked standards or avoid closures. Poor maintenance could lead to non-compliance penalties, as buildings must demonstrably support the Statement of Rights and prevent unsafe conditions.
These requirements may increase short-term costs for refurbishments but promote long-term sustainability by aligning buildings with modern care needs.
