Aged Care Queensland (ACQ) is a not-for-profit Association consisting of more than 400 members who provide care and accommodation services to aged and disabled Queenslanders at approximately 800 sites.

ACQ members operate nursing homes, hostels, independent living units, rental accommodation for the aged, serviced apartments, respite care and in-home care services. ACQ assists members by promoting their work to the community and to Governments, and by keeping members informed of matters that affect their operations. It also facilitates policy development and strategic development for the industry, and offers education and training specific to the aged care industry.

Membership of ACQ is open to all organisations serving older Queenslanders – church, charitable, community, private enterprise, State and Local Government. Companies who supply goods or services to villages, care facilities and community services can also show their support for the aged care industry by joining as Industry Partners or Corporate Subscribers.

ACQ is affiliated with national organisations, Aged and Community Services Australia (ACSA) and Aged Care Association Australia (ACAA), formerly ANHECA. This allows it to maintain links with Australia’s Federal Government and promote member services at the national level. To assist in benefiting the industry, ACQ works with other State Associations (where consistent with its objectives) to ensure a national voice is heard.

ACQ recognises that its members are independent bodies with their own philosophies, aims and objectives. It assists them to provide services of excellence to the people of Queensland.
