Our commitment

Quality and safety

Our commitment to the safety of our community is a priority, and at the heart of our culture.
In-depth industry knowledge

Our commitment to quality and safety

We prioritise quality and safety through best practice screening, and verification of candidates, which is all overseen by a leadership team deeply experienced in the recruitment and healthcare sector. It is this personal, first-hand experience and an in-depth industry knowledge that underpins the Alliance Community culture of support. This ensures we can deliver supports and services that help participants to achieve their goals.

Quality and safety

Governance and clinical oversight

Our governance structure and clinical oversight is at an organisational level.

Guiding our commitment to safety and quality is an Alliance Leadership Team (ALT) and two national committees:  

  • Quality and Risk Committee: Advises on risk management, quality service, and compliance. Responsibilities include identifying and reviewing risks, evaluating internal controls, overseeing incident management, and recommending continuous improvements.
  • Clinical Governance Committee: Ensures safe, quality care services. Tasks include monitoring consumer safety and feedback, managing clinical risks, reviewing quality issues, overseeing key clinical safety and improvement projects, and ensuring compliance with standards and regulations.
Aged care

Advisory bodies

We also have two advisory bodies exclusively focused on our Aged Care support service:

  • Consumer Advisory Body: Obtains advice from consumers on service operations, service quality, potential improvements and future strategies to enhance their experience of the support services delivered by Alliance Community.
  • Quality Care Advisory Body: Reviews the quality of care and services provided by Alliance Community especially clinical care outcomes, reportable incidents and feedback, staffing, and organisational improvements.

If you would like to be a consumer representative, please call 1300 769 155 (option 2) to speak to a manager or email us to register your interest.

Ensuring client safety and quality care

Incident monitoring

At Alliance Community we take client safety and quality care very seriously. This includes having a robust incident monitoring and response system in place. We continuously monitor incidents to:

Identify trends

By understanding why incidents occur, we can take steps to proactively prevent similar situations from happening again, keeping you safe.

Take swift action

When we identify any issues, we don't waste time. We develop and implement clear action plans to address the problem immediately.

Constantly improve

We believe in continuous improvement. We regularly review and update our policies and procedures based on our learnings from incidents. This ensures our processes are always effective in preventing future incidents.
The wellbeing of young people

Commitment to child safety statement

We are also dedicated to ensuring the wellbeing, safety, and protection of children and young people in our programs and communities.

Closing the gender gap

Australian Workplace Gender Equality

In accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (Act), Alliance Australia has lodged its annual public report with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).

Transparency and client communication

Client confidentiality is essential, but so is transparency. If an incident directly affects a client's care, we will work with them directly while maintaining their privacy. If you have any questions about our incident monitoring and response system or have any feedback - big or small, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to discuss it further.
