Federal government now has the ‘opportunity’ to change the delivery of aged care
Minister for Senior Australians Richard Colbeck says the federal government now has the “opportunity to change” how aged care is delivered in Australia as the final report from the royal commission into the sector is released. On Monday the government outlined its response to the final report of the Royal Commission into Aged Care, which handed down 148 recommendations for reform. The federal response will include a new aged care act and $450 million to be immediately put into initiatives. “It is a once in a generation opportunity to create real change in the way that aged care is provided in this country,” Mr Colbeck said. “The prime minister said - when the commission was called - we were going to hear some really hard things, and we have.” He said this is what drives him in wanting to “fundamentally reform” the way in which aged care is delivered in Australia. “There’s a lot of cans been kicked down the road in aged care for 20 years by successive governments and the attitude of the community more generally to senior Australians isn’t what we want it to be,” Mr Colbeck said. “We now stand in a situation where we have the opportunity to change all of those things.”
