FicusBridge is the best business investment we have ever made.

Tony Williams

CEO, Glenella Care

I have attended a few AN-ACC trainings but never heard anyone explain it all as well as you have. It all makes sense now. Thank you!

Rose

Registered Nurse, Vacenti

I cannot recommend FicusBridge highly enough. We were looking for experience to be guided through the Aged Care changes from ACFI to AN-ACC and FicusBridge more than delivered. FicusBridge took the time to understand us and what our requirements were. Our staff were educated and guided through the process. We saw an immediate uplift in performance from our staff and revenue. We wholeheartedly recommend FicusBridge.

Six in Ten Aged Care Facilities Miss Mandatory Care Times for Residents

In recent years, Australia’s aged care sector has grappled with meeting new care minute targets designed to enhance the quality of life for older Australians.

The devil is in the details: AN-ACC funding changes and complexities

Major changes to AN-ACC funding present a much-needed victory for certain pockets of the aged care sector. Regional and rural providers should be especially excited over funding boosts after being lumped together with metropolitan providers in some scenarios.

What AN-ACC and care minute target changes mean for Australia’s most vulnerable

On the surface, the biggest change is the increase in the AN-ACC price. This adjustment, while seemingly abstract, translates to tangible improvements in care delivery and more competitive compensation for the superheroes who comprise clinical staff.

Navigating AN-ACC for Better Care: Tanvi Dalal founder of Ficus Bridge

We spoke with Dr. Tanvi Dalal, founder of FicusBridge, a fast-growing technology and consulting firm specialising in navigating AN-ACC (Australian National Aged Care Classification), care minute mandates and star ratings for better care outcomes.
