From 1 October 2025, aged care homes must meet both legislated total care minutes AND registered nurse care minutes targets to achieve 3 stars or more for their Staffing rating. The updated calculation will first appear publicly on the My Aged Care Find a Provider tool from the second quarterly Star Ratings update in 2026 (mid-2026). Providers below target on either measure will be capped at 2 stars for Staffing.
