Aged care providers face equipment compliance obligations tied directly to the Aged Care Quality Standards, spanning everything from lifting equipment to electrical safety to emergency response gear. Nova Biomedical has supported residential aged care providers across Australia with equipment testing, calibration, and compliance for over 25 years, and we’re ISO9001:2015 certified for the quality systems behind that work.

Why Aged Care Providers Choose Nova Biomedical
Residential aged care facilities need equipment compliance handled with minimal disruption to residents and staff. We understand the equipment risk management expectations that sit within the Aged Care Quality Standards, and we schedule testing to work around your facility’s routines, not against them.
Common Issues We Find in Aged Care Facilities
- Hoists and lifting equipment overdue for testing, often because they’re in constant daily use and hard to take offline for servicing.
- AEDs with expired pads or batteries that go unnoticed between formal servicing visits.
- Compliance evidence spread across multiple systems, making it harder to produce a clear picture for an accreditation assessor.
