Catholic Health Australia has welcomed the Federal Government’s formal response to the Royal Commission in Aged Care calling the $17.7 billion package a landmark moment for older Australians.
CHA is part of the Australian Aged Care Collaboration (AACC), which represents more than 1,000 providers, which tonight congratulates the Government on accepting 126 of the Royal Commission’s 148 recommendations.
After 20 government reviews in 20 years, this Budget, and the government’s response to the Royal Commission’s recommendations, finally addressed many of the challenges facing aged care.
CHA said the suite of measures will enable more Australians to be cared for in their home, increase the number of care minutes and provide more training for carers and the incentives for them to stay.
