  • A new model for regulating aged care - Consultation Paper 2 - Closes 23 June

    The Department of Health and Ageing has released Consultation Paper 2 - A new model for regulating aged care. This second consultation paper outlines the details of the proposed approach to regulating aged care.

    Viewing this Paper is important for a few reasons:

    • You have the opportunity to provide feedback on the government's approach and model before it gets finalised - consultation closes 23 June 2023.
    • It will help to inform you of what is proposed, so you can start working towards it (note: it is a proposed and not a final model)
    • It may help you to identify which Service Types you may wish to register for, and their governance and workforce needs

    The consultation, closing 23 June, is for Older people, carers and families, Aged care workers, ​Providers (i.e service administrators, owners), Aged care experts and peak organisations. You can complete a short 15 minute survey, or a 2+ hour detailed survey.

    The key contact for this consultation is Assistant Secretary Caroline Turnour, agedcareregmodel@health.gov.au

    Information provided by the Department

    The department is seeking feedback from all interested stakeholders on A new model for regulating Aged Care, Consultation Paper No.2: Details of the proposed new model by 5pm AEST, 23 June 2023.

    The department is developing the new model in response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety findings.

    The new model proposes changes to the way aged care is delivered to improve the quality of care for older people and prevent, detect and correct poor provider performance.

    We invite you to have your say.
