A group of senior Australians having a cup of tea

A new booklet on reforming aged care in Australia is now available for download and ordering from the Department of Health and Aged Care website.

The booklet is for older people and their carers and families who want to learn more about the changes being made to aged care.

It features stories showing how existing and upcoming reforms might affect older people, and information explaining what exactly is changing.

By reading this booklet, you can learn more about the aged care reforms and get an idea of how they might work in real life.

You can also meet with us face-to-face at community events around Australia and pick up a copy.
