Navigating AN-ACC for Better Care
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. For most aged care providers, funding management and meeting care minute targets are not particularly straightforward. Tanvi explained that while the complexities of the AN-ACC funding model can be challenging, FicusBridge’s primary goal is to help providers focus on delivering exceptional care. By streamlining funding processes, decoding care minute obligations and offering tools and strategies that align with residents’ care needs, FicusBridge ensures compliance and financial sustainability. We discuss how this enables providers to prioritise high-quality, person-centred care without being weighed down by administrative challenges.
