Aged care fitouts — comfort, dignity & full compliance

We build aged care fitouts and senior living environments across Brisbane and the Gold Coast — residential aged care facility fitouts, independent living unit upgrades, common area refurbishments and specialist dementia care environments — all to NCC Class 9c requirements, AS 1428 accessible standards and the care philosophy of modern aged care.

The compliance framework

Built to the Aged Care Quality Standards

Aged care facilities operate under the Aged Care Act 1997 and the Quality Standards administered by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. The physical environment standards require an environment that promotes safety, comfort and dignity — translating to universal accessibility, anti-ligature hardware where appropriate, slip-resistant flooring, lighting for aging vision, reduced acoustic hard surfaces, and clear wayfinding.

The NCC Class 9c classification imposes structural, fire safety, egress and services requirements more demanding than Class 5 office or Class 6 retail. We build to this standard with full documentation and certifier engagement.

Aged care spaces we build

From resident suites to clinical spaces

Resident rooms & suites

Single-occupancy rooms with ensuite bathrooms to AS 1428 (grab rails, hobless showers, accessible vanities), appropriate power and communications, and joinery for personal storage.

Common areas & lounges

Lounges, dining and activity areas with acoustic ceiling and wall treatments, non-glare lighting, slip-resistant flooring, and layouts planned for wheelchair and walking-frame circulation.

Dining & cafe areas

Commercial-standard kitchen infrastructure servicing residential-scale dining, with wheelchair-accessible seating and appropriate servery counter heights.

Dementia care environments

Sensory contrast between floor and wall for wayfinding, secure garden and outdoor areas, reduced visual complexity, and elimination of design elements that cause confusion or distress.

Bathrooms & wet areas

Accessible construction to AS 1428.1 — hobless showers, grab rails, non-slip flooring, accessible vanities, emergency call rough-in and adequate wheelchair turning circles.

Allied health & clinical

On-site physiotherapy, occupational therapy and clinical consultation rooms built to the same standard as our standalone allied health fitouts.

Aged Care Fitouts FAQ

Questions we're often asked

Yes. We work collaboratively with aged care architects, interior designers and Approved Provider management teams. Construction is our scope; clinical design and regulatory documentation is led by the design and management team.

AS 1428.1 (Design for Access and Mobility) is the primary standard. In addition, the Premises Standards under the Disability Discrimination Act and relevant NCC provisions govern accessible building design.

Yes, with appropriate planning. We stage works to minimise disturbance, schedule noisy works at appropriate times, maintain infection control barriers and coordinate with the facility’s care team throughout.

Aged care facilities have heightened fire safety requirements including sprinkler systems, fire-rated construction between resident rooms and corridors, fire doors and smoke detection. We manage fire safety system design and installation through licensed fire protection contractors coordinated within our scope.
