KPMG welcomes the Productivity Commission’s focus on improving productivity and outcomes across the care economy and supports all three draft recommendations outlined in their Interim Report.
Drawing on our experience supporting governments and providers to deliver reform in complex care systems, this submission provides additional evidence to inform the case for change, highlights key implementation considerations, and sets out practical next steps.
About this report
In this submission, KPMG supports the Productivity Commission's recommendation to enhance quality and safety regulation in the care sector, and we advocate for a move from compliance-focused frameworks to those that foster continual improvement and transparency.
We also recommend a unified regulatory approach to reduce duplication and harmonise standards across care types, a consistent quality rating system, and better alignment of restrictive practice obligations.
KPMG also supports collaborative commissioning with pooled funding and shared outcomes, as well as a legislated National Prevention Investment Framework for long-term, equitable prevention.
