Aruma’s participant survey results

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts.

September 25, 2024

In August, we asked Aruma participants and families to tell us what they think of Aruma through a survey.  

We do this survey twice a year for people who use Aruma’s Home & Living and Community Services. 

The results are great. We had more people complete the survey this time. 

We had a total of 820 responses. This came from 477 participants and 343 family members.  

Our family feedback response rate has gone from 34% to 42%. 

Aruma’s Net Promoter Score (NPS) has gotten better.   

What’s a Net Promoter Score (NPS)? It is a number that explains how likely people are to recommend Aruma.  

Someone is a promoter when they give us a high score like 9/10 or 10/10. 

This year our NPS is +44. In the last survey it was +35. This result shows our score is improving. 

 

Some other great findings: 

  • 59% of promoters like our staff, calling them helpful.  
  • Aruma scored 88% or higher on all Quality Goals: Your Way, The Safe Way, The Right Way, Together. 
  • 95% of participants feel safe and respected. 

 

This survey also tells us how we can improve. 

 

Areas of improvement: 

  • We respond to complaints better. 
  • We communicate better. 
  • We listen to what you tell us. 
  • We support you in a way that suits you. 
  • We support you to find more activities in the community that you want to be involved in. 
  • We have enough staff to support you. 
  • Make billing easier. 

 

We want to hear from you. You can give us feedback any time.  

  • Speak to a staff member or manager  
  • Call Aruma on 1300 725 748 

 

Or you can tell us in the next survey. The survey will happen again in March.
