Why this exists
Nobody launches a funded program planning to let it drift. You started with a promise. A grant agreement, a community that needs the thing to exist, a team that believes in it.
Then reform lands. Accreditation arrives urgently, just as the key person leaves and takes half the program's memory with them. One day the program running on the ground barely resembles the one everyone agreed to build, and nobody has a spare fortnight to fix it.
By renewal, the gap between promised and delivered is somebody's problem. Usually yours.
Who it is for
The CEO, general manager or sponsor who owns a funded program in aged care, disability or community services. If there is a renewal, accreditation or reform date on the program in the next twelve months, do the check this week.
The check examines the program itself. Design and scope, supports and scaffolding, decision authority, the promise it was funded to keep, and where load and risk are being absorbed in practice. It never assesses the people running it, and your answers stay with you.
