A good life

The Australian Government is making positive changes to aged care. 

These reforms will improve aged care in Australia now and into the future. 

Many of these changes are in response to the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.

Our vision is to deliver the highest quality care for older people, where and when they need it. 

Together we can make positive, lasting changes to aged care that deliver:

  • safety, dignity and respect for older people
  • better conditions for our frontline workers
  • sustainability for the sector.

Let’s change aged care together

We encourage you to have your say on the changes to aged care. Together we can continue to make positive, lasting changes to aged care that deliver safety, dignity and respect for older people.

Thousands of people have been involved in shaping the reforms so far through surveys, webinars, online workshops, consultation papers and face-to-face events.
