Following the response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, the Australian Government expanded the role of the IHACPA to include support for aged care reform as well as public hospital funding.
IHACPA now collects cost data from the aged care sector, consults with stakeholders and gathers evidence to provide pricing advice for:
- residential aged care
- residential respite care
- Support at Home services.
Cost collection is necessary to ensure that the pricing advice IHACPA provides to the government is directly informed by the actual costs of delivering care.
