HB50
residential accommodation of aged persons who, due to varying degrees of incapacity associated with the ageing process, are provided with personal care services and 24-hour staff assistance to evacuate the building during an emergency
The definition applies to Class 9c aged-care buildings. If a building does not satisfy the definition, then for BCA purposes it is not an aged-care building and cannot be constructed as one. Such a building would potentially be an ordinary Class 3 or 9a building and would need to comply with the relevant provisions. The BCA contains a number of specific provisions for Class 9c aged-care buildings.
