As part of a detailed submission to the Federal Government, Palliative Care Australia proposes the need to maintain funding for the Comprehensive Palliative Care in Aged Care measure beyond June 2024, with costs shared with states and territories. By linking specialist palliative care services with people in residential aged care, this program has already demonstrated a reduction in unnecessary emergency and hospital admissions and delivered savings and efficiencies for hospital systems.
Aged care workers and service providers can view a recording of an interactive Q&A panel discussion on the draft new Aged Care Act. The webinar answers sector questions on the Act, explains the draft law, and provides information on how the public can get involved in the consultation process. This information is also relevant to older people, their families and carers.
