Our work related to aged care

The Transition Care Programme helps older people recover after a hospital stay by providing short-term care for up to 12 weeks. Read about the program, care provided, and why it’s important.

The Australian Government funds aged care providers’ access to interpreting services through TIS National. Providers can use TIS National to help people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds access and navigate the aged care system. It is available all year round at no cost to them.

We are developing and testing a framework to deliver virtual nursing services to improve clinical care for older people in residential aged care homes.

We are working to stop younger people under 65 going into residential aged care. We are helping younger people consider and access suitable accommodation and support.
