We’ve heard from many older people and their families about the impacts they’ve experienced since the Aged Care reforms commenced nearly 6 months ago. The 3 webinar sessionss will address a number of these issues.
Patricia Sparrow talks about Aged Care Reforms, what older Australians are telling us about their Support at Home experiences and how COTA Australia is advocating for you or your loved ones.
The implementation of the new aged care reforms – including Support at Home – is, so far, falling short of its promises to older Australians, COTA Australia has warned.
Share your experience with aged care delays. Whether you’re waiting, receiving or have stopped services, your story can help shine a light on the system and amplify the voice of older Australians in Parliament.
This tool was developed to help providers deliver Home Care Packages in line with the Consumer Directed Care principles of choice, flexibility and transparency.
