About the exposure draft consultation
On 14 December 2023, we released an exposure draft of the Bill for the new Act for public consultation.
The consultation ran until 8 March 2024, during which we sought feedback from everyone with an interest in aged care, including:
- older people, their families and carers
- aged care providers and workers
- advocates and representatives
- volunteers
- researchers
- experts
- sector peaks, associations and unions.
During the 12-week consultation, we:
- received over 320 submissions and more than 800 surveys
- heard from more than 10,000 people at our 3 webinars, 42 workshops and 5 roundtables.
The feedback we have received during this consultation is being used to inform final drafting of the Bill for introduction to Parliament.
