In-home care across Queensland, NSW, the ACT, Tasmania and the NT

Clinical governance

Clinical governance is how we make sure the care we deliver is safe, effective and accountable — not just on paper, but in every home we visit. At Harwell, clinical governance is led by a registered nurse and built into how we hire, train, plan care, and respond when something needs to change.

Aligned to the Aged Care Quality Standards

We deliver care in line with the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, under the new Aged Care Act and regulated by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. These standards shape how we manage clinical risk, medication, infection prevention and care planning for the people we support at home.

How clinical governance works at Harwell

Registered-nurse oversight

clinical care is supervised by our Chief Service Officer, a registered nurse, with regional Clinical Team Leaders supporting local teams.

The right people, properly checked

police checks, role-based training, and verified qualifications for our clinical staff.

Care planning and review

every client has a care plan that is reviewed as their needs change, with clinical input where required.

Clinical risk and incident management

a clear process for identifying, escalating and learning from incidents.

Continuous improvement

we use feedback, audits and outcomes to improve, not just to comply.
