Here’s how you can have your say and help shape the future of aged care.
COTA Australia and the Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) are working together to make sure your views and voices are heard by the Australian Government on two major reforms:
- the new Aged Care Act – the Government has released information about the rights and other foundational aspects (such as supported decision making, the definition of high quality care along with other key areas); and
- funding principles for a sustainable aged care system – developed by the Aged Care Taskforce to guide their work.
OPAN is inviting older people, their families and carers to an online consultation forum on Wednesday 23 August 2023 at 5pm AEST.
To register for this forum, please click here.
There will also be a number of in-person consultations held at various locations around Australia in the coming weeks. To find out more and register your interest, please click here.
