In 2021, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety provided Australia with a unique opportunity — to make positive, lasting changes to aged care that deliver safety, dignity and respect for older people.
The Australian Government is making changes to aged care, many of which are in response to the recommendations of the Royal Commission.
These changes will improve aged care in Australia now and into the future.
Our vision is to deliver the highest quality person-centred care for older people, where and when they need it.
We are also consulting with older people, their families, and carers as we develop, trial and deliver these changes to make sure our aged care system meets their needs.
