The Eden Alternative® and the Aged Care Standards

The New Strengthened Aged Care Standards = The Eden Alternative® Framework + Relationship directed care + Improved Wellbeing

The Eden Alternative approach of person directed care supports and enhances best practice industry compliance obligations, objectives and outcomes.

The Australian Aged Care Quality Standards came into effect on the 1st November 2025 and impact all service providers in the residential Aged Care and Community Care sectors in Australia. These new Standards focus upon a person directed approach to care and support.

What does this look like?

Using the framework of the 10 Eden Principles and the Eden Domains of Wellbeing you can align the Standards, their requirements and expected outcomes with an innovative model that is all about the person you are supporting.
