Mandatory minimum Daily Resident Care Hours (DRCH) and minimum nurse and support worker skill mix ratios were introduced for public Residential Aged Care Facilities in Queensland Health in December 2019. This minimum nurse workforce legislation sets a minimum average DRCH of 3.65 hours per 24-hour period, and minimum nurse and support worker skill mix ratios of a minimum of 30% registered nurses and a maximum of 50% support workers of the total nurse workforce.

Full compliance with minimum nurse workforce legislation is not required until February 2022.

The existing industrially mandated Business Planning Framework: a tool for nursing and midwifery workload management (PDF, 1.3MB) will continue to apply across all nursing and midwifery services in Queensland Health, regardless of whether a facility or ward is subject to existing nurse-to-patient ratios or minimum nurse workforce legislation.
