A Senate Inquiry into Aged Care Service Delivery is currently underway with the Committee due to report on its findings by 15 September 2025.

The Inquiry was established to assess the implications for older Australians, their families, carers, service providers and health systems of the Government’s decision to delay the commencement of the new Support at Home program until 1 November 2025.

The inquiry is being conducted by the Senate Community Affairs References Committee, which is considering various aspects of aged care service delivery including:

• the impact of the delay on older Australians waiting for support at home, including unmet care needs and the wellbeing of seniors and their carers;
• the capacity of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme to meet increased demand for support at home prior to 1 November 2025;
• the impacts on aged care service providers, including on their workforce
