Better health and ageing for all Australians

Aged Care Reforms

Aged Care Reform Package

On 20 March 2008, important changes to Australia's residential aged care system came into effect. The reforms will better meet the needs of aged care home residents who require high levels of care by increasing the maximum care payments made by the Australian Government. The system of fees and charges to be paid by residents is also made simpler, better and fairer.
