About this webinar

Australia’s new Aged Care Act promises a rights based system that puts older people at the centre. But how are those rights being experienced in practice, particularly under the new Support at Home program?

This webinar brings together perspectives from older people and advocates, providers, policy and regulatory experts to explore what the transition to Support at Home looks like in real life. We will examine what is working well, what is proving challenging, and where gaps remain between the intent of the legislation and lived experience.

This webinar forms part of our Department of Health, Disability and Ageing–funded engagement work as an Aged Care Consumer Peak Body and aligns with our broader advocacy for a Human Rights Act in Australia.

This event will also kick off our conversations with members to inform our submission to the Senate Inquiry into the Support at Home Program.

Join us for an honest, constructive discussion about how Australia can move from legislation to lived experience and ensure the promise of rights based aged care is fulfilled.
