The new Aged Care Act is helping older people to understand how providers use funding and operate.
It is about creating a sustainable sector, where aged care providers are accountable for how they manage their expenses, income and budget.
You can see how much providers are spending on care, food, staff and accommodation on the Find a Provider tool.
You can use this information to compare providers and help decide which one best suits your individual needs.
You can also prepare questions to ask providers if something isn't clear or if you would like to know more.
Making this information publicly available creates greater transparency and gives you peace of mind. It's all designed to put you at the center of your aged care.
