Aged Care Unveiled

"Aged Care Unveiled" is a one-day summit taking place in Melbourne on September 3rd. This event is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge and practical strategies to navigate the aged care system.

The Challenge: The introduction of consumer-directed care in Australia was intended to offer flexibility and choice for older Australians. However, the reality has often been overwhelming, with families and caregivers struggling to navigate the complex, fragmented aged care system. With soaring demand, extensive waiting lists, and chronic staffing shortages, the system frequently leaves families feeling frustrated and unsupported.

General practice teams often become the consistent touchstone for patients caught in this maze, bearing the brunt of these systemic challenges. The complexity of the aged care system means that healthcare providers need clear knowledge, information, and pathways to streamline their role in supporting clients and caregivers effectively.

• In-depth understanding: Gain clarity on the aged care system, including government and non-government funded services, eligibility criteria, and more.
