Overview
Calvary Health Care, one of Australia’s largest aged care providers, faced increasing compliance demands following a major acquisition. With 57 aged care homes and 16 home care services across multiple states, adapting to ever-changing regulatory requirements while maintaining high-quality care became a priority. #
To streamline processes, Calvary implemented MEG’s digital audit and compliance software, reducing administrative burden, improving compliance tracking, and providing real-time data.
The CHALLENGE
Keeping Up with Aged Care Compliance & Audits
Before MEG, compliance processes across Calvary’s aged care homes were largely manual and time-consuming, leading to:
Overwhelming admin workload — Too much time spent on paper-based audits, reducing time for resident care.
Lack of real-time compliance visibility — Data was siloed, making it difficult to track performance and identify risks.
Slow response to regulatory changes — Legacy systems were inflexible, making it difficult to adapt to evolving aged care compliance requirements.
Inconsistent data across sites — With multiple aged care facilities, ensuring standardised compliance reporting was a challenge.
“Gathering audit data was a burdensome job, and we needed automation so
staff could focus on fixing the problems instead of just collecting data.”
the Solution
MEG’s Digital Compliance & Audit Platform
Calvary implemented MEG’s audit software across its 57 aged care homes and 16 home care services, ensuring a flexible and self-service approach to compliance management. The highly configurable system allowed Calvary to tailor audit processes to its specific needs while seamlessly adapting to new regulatory requirements, such as those introduced under the Aged Care Act. By enabling real-time compliance tracking and streamlined operations, the software positioned Calvary ahead of regulatory changes, ensuring agility and efficiency in an evolving compliance landscape.

By eliminating manual data tracking, MEG enables clinical and operational teams to make faster, evidence-based decisions that drive compliance improvements and patient safety enhancements.
“The biggest benefit was real-time dashboarding — users can see their data, track compliance, and identify opportunities for improvement.”
3. Standardised Auditing & Compliance Across Multiple Locations
MEG’s scalable compliance platform enabled Calvary to standardise audits and centralise compliance data across its aged care facilities in multiple states. Ensuring consistent tracking and real-time oversight, the system enhanced operational efficiency and team coordination.

This adaptability ensures that compliance processes remain efficient, responsive, and aligned with both current regulations and future industry developments.
“MEG wasn’t a rigid, out-of-the-box solution, nor was it something we had to build from
scratch. It provided the perfect balance of customisation and flexibility.”
