New Aged Care Act starts 1 November

Aged care in Australia is changing for the better.
The new Aged Care Act will make aged care safer, fairer, and more respectful. 
These are some big changes, and big changes take time. 
The new Act will now start from the 1st of November, 2025. 
This will give providers more time to set up new systems and train and prepare workers. 
It also gives you more time to understand what's changing. 
Until the new Act starts, the way you receive care and services will not change whether you receive services in your own home or if you live in an aged care home.
