This discussion paper canvasses key issues in the design of reforms to in-home aged care. It seeks the views of older Australians, their families and carers, the aged care sector, and any other community stakeholders on 5 key areas for the design of a new in-home aged care program.
A new program for in-home aged care provides an update on the preliminary design of the revised program and takes your feedback from previous consultations on board.
We want to hear from older Australians, their families and carers, the aged care sector, and any other community stakeholders about their views on the indicative model and questions raised in the paper.

Really interesting to read about the new in-home aged care program. It’s good to see more attention being given to supporting older Australians within their own homes. Having quality services and comfort makes such a big difference in their daily lives. I was recently looking at ways to improve home comfort and found that a good sheet set can actually enhance sleep quality for seniors. Little touches like that can really boost wellbeing. Overall, this program sounds like a step in the right direction for aged care in Australia.
