Audit Readiness Scorecard

When the ACQSC comes knocking, the providers that perform best aren't necessarily the ones doing the most work — they're the ones who are the most organised. This scorecard covers the 8 areas auditors focus on most heavily and gives you an honest picture of where your evidence gaps are.

6. Policy Currency

Policies reviewed in last 12 months, mapped to ACQS 2025

7. Care Planning

Care plans current, person-centred, consumer-signed
