Older Australians Deserve Better Support at Home

With an election looming, there has never been a better time for home care providers to affect change in the proposed Support at Home program.

You can affect change, if you:

  • Email the PM, Minister Butler, Minister Wells & Senator Anne Ruston

  • Visit your local Member

We have brought together a diverse group of ten industry experts, service providers and aged care academics to call on the Government to:

  • Implement the Royal Commission’s recommendation to match the level of home-based funding to residential aged care

  • Retain the current variable Care Management fees with a maximum of 20%.

Email the PM, Minister Butler, Minister Wells & Senator Ruston highlighting what you think needs to change. You can use as much of our words and arguments as you see fit.

The recently announced Support at Home program is inadequate to enable many older people to stay in their homes at the end of their lives.

Our thoughts and evidence are outlined in:
