From 1 November 2025, the Compliance rating incorporates graded assessment against the 7 Strengthened Quality Standards. Transition to the redesigned rating will take up to 3 years as homes are audited. A Compliance rating of 1 or 2 stars will cap the Overall Star Rating. Homes may also be eligible for an 'exceeding' grade.
