Aged Care Capability

ATLR has extensive experience in aged care developments, including new facilities, major refurbishments, and upgrades to existing operational buildings. These projects involve complex compliance pathways, particularly in balancing fire safety, access requirements, and the operational realities of resident care environments. ATLR provides clear, performance-based advice in situations where strict Deemed-to-Satisfy compliance is not practical or would result in unnecessary disruption or cost.

Our capability includes:

• BCA compliance assessment for Class 9c buildings

• Application and interpretation of Specification 43

• Fire-resisting construction, compartmentation, and egress advice

• Performance Solutions where Deemed-to-Satisfy compliance is not practical

• Access compliance advice for resident, staff, and visitor environments

• Refurbishment, upgrade, and change-of-use assessments for existing facilities

• Practical resolution of compliance issues with certifiers and authorities

This capability is particularly important in aged care projects, where compliance decisions can have significant implications for design, construction cost, staging, and the ongoing operation of the facility.
