Professor Len Gray was appointed in 1998 to conduct a review of the extent to which the reforms under the Aged Care Act 1997 have achieved their objectives in addressing acknowledged deficiencies in the previous aged care system. The Review addressed eight terms of reference, namely: access, affordability, quality, efficiency, industry viability, impact on State and Territory programs, choice and appropriateness, and other considerations, including dementia care.
The Response indicates that the Government has accepted all seven recommendations of the Review and sets out the action that is being taken.
