The Australian Government is delivering lasting improvements to aged care – placing your rights and needs at the centre of reform.
All Australians deserve access to safe, high-quality care and support as they age – whether remaining in their own homes or transitioning to residential aged care.
Through the comprehensive reform agenda, aged care will be more person-centred, responsive, and respectful of individual dignity and choice.
Through nationwide consultations, surveys, and community forums. Seniors and families made it clear that you want:
Greater choice and control over your care
Fair and transparent costs
Strong protections and respect for your rights
Concerns and complaints to be taken seriously, without fear of negative consequences
Accountability and transparency from care providers
These reforms are vital for all Australians. The Government is committed to building an aged care system that inspires confidence – a system where everyone can access affordable, safe, and appropriate support as they grow older.
