Nursing & Care Homes for sale in Australia

Government-funded residential aged care requires provider registration and approval of the individual home. Check Category 6 registration, approved bed capacity, conditions, audits and the process for varying registration when ownership, legal entity or beds change.

Review title or lease, approved use, fire systems, accessibility, nurse call, food premises, infection control and essential-services reports. Compare approved beds with room configuration and quantify refurbishments, safety upgrades or deferred building maintenance.

Check registered nurse coverage, care minutes, qualifications, screening, agency reliance and roster gaps. Review clinical governance, medication, wounds, falls, infection, nutrition and behaviour support, confirming responsible managers and key clinicians will remain after completion.

Reconcile government funding, resident fees, refundable deposits, accommodation payments, credits and outstanding accounts to resident agreements and bank records. Define responsibility for pre-completion adjustments, refunds and services owed after the ownership change.

Examine audit reports, complaints, incidents, compliance notices, sanctions, improvement plans and serious incident reporting. Confirm all actions are closed, and price ongoing staffing, governance or building commitments required to maintain registration and approved beds.

Analyse occupancy, resident acuity, funding, care minutes and ancillary revenue by month. Rebuild profit after nursing, agency staff, food, utilities and maintenance, then allow for refundable deposit obligations, capital upgrades and owner management replacement.
