The number one recommendation of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety was for the Australian Government to develop a new rights-based Aged Care Act.
Consultation on the new Act opened in mid-December and we have heard from people who receive and deliver services and care across the industry.
Following feedback from stakeholders requesting more time to review the draft and share their views on this important reform, the Government has agreed to extend the consultation period on the Act by 3 weeks to 8 March 2024.
