More Australians are living longer, and our birth rate is declining! It’s the classic definition of an “ageing population”.
More older Australians and people with special needs, particularly in country areas like regional Victoria, are choosing to “age in place" rather than move into residential care.
From November 1st 2025, Australia’s aged care system has changed for the better. A new program, called Support at Home, has replaced the old Home Care Packages (HCP) and Short-Term Restorative Care programs.
Australia's aged care sector is undergoing a significant transformation, shaped by demographic changes and evolving care needs. As Australia's population ages, the aged care sector stands at a pivotal juncture, facing both challenges and opportunities.
