Good Budget News for Aged Care

Good Budget News for Aged Care

The good news is that $17.7 billion more funds will be injected into aged care and none of it will come from higher fees for clients. The Government is fully funding the increase.
 
Two key measures to be excited about are an extra 80,000 home care packages to reduce down the waiting time and an extra $10 per day per resident paid to residential care providers to help improve the quality of living services, such as food, linen and nutrition.
