Patricia Sparrow, CEO of COTA Australia interviewed on the TODAY show regarding the Aged Care Act

Patricia was interviewed this morning for the TODAY show and outlined how this announcement by Parliament yesterday will impact the Aged Care sector.  She indicated that the reforms will redefine aged care and the focus will be on supporting older Australians to remain at home longer and with better support.

Patricia also mentioned the additional $25,000 people will be able to access for additional support and assist them to die at home where that is their wish. In the video Patricia accidentally refers to a timeframe of 3 years but it is in fact 3 months.
