How much we’ll pay for residential aged care and home care packages may be changing on 1 July 2025.
It's one of the results of the federal government’s 2023 Aged Care Taskforce, which looked at how the health and wellbeing of older Australians is supported through government-funded home care packages and residential aged care.
On 12 September 2024, the Australian Government:
- introduced the Aged Care Bill 2024 to Parliament
- announced reforms to funding in its response to the Aged Care Taskforce
- provided details of the Support at Home program.
The government’s My Aged Care website provides details of the proposed changes and information on aged care options to help you make a decision that best suits your financial situation.
