Aged-Care Homes Random Inspections

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:10): Supplementary: are there any specific criteria for selecting aged-care sites to be targeted?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:10): I am not aware of that. It may well be that there is some publicly available information on the criteria. Certainly, in relation to our partnership with the commonwealth, in terms of the pandemic, one of the indicator issues that was I think brought to the state authority's attention was the level of compliance with infection control measures. It goes back to our earlier conversation and the relevance of the infection control for pandemic response, but I will certainly seek, on behalf of the honourable member, information as to whether there are, if you like, KPIs or indicators as to when the commonwealth agency might plan unscheduled visits.
