Residential aged care related work

We are building technology connections between aged care businesses and government systems to improve information sharing. A better-connected and efficient aged care network will support high-quality aged care.

We provide access to funding for community pharmacies and residential aged care homes to employ on-site pharmacists to work in residential aged care homes.

We are making changes to aged care. Our vision is to deliver the highest quality person-centred care for older people, where and when they need it.

The Australian Government is delivering a payment to registered nurses who work for the same aged care employer for 6 or 12 months.

The scheme involves volunteers visiting older people to provide friendship and companionship. Find out how it works, how to become a volunteer and how to request a visit.

The Australian Government provides subsidies to approved residential aged care providers through the Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) funding model.

Residential aged care providers must provide residents with a minimum number of minutes of care per day, and have at least one registered nurse (RN) onsite and on duty at all times at each residential facility.

The Comprehensive Palliative Care in Aged Care measure aims to help older Australians living in residential aged care, nearing the end of their life.

We are improving the health and quality of life for older people living in residential aged care through better food and nutrition.

We are increasing support for people with dementia and their carers through dementia-specific respite services.
