We are pleased to announce refreshed membership for the National Aged Care Advisory Council in 2025.
Professor Sue Gordon joins the Council as Chair this year.
Professor Gordon brings a wealth of experience, including from her previous role as Research Director at Aged Care Research and Industry Innovation Australia (ARIIA).
Professor Gordon is joined by new members:
- Professor Tanya Buchanan, CEO of Dementia Australia

Members include people accessing aged care services, people who work in aged care, health professionals and specialists in training and education.
The Advisory Council provides independent advice to Government on matters relating to the aged care sector including services, access, capability and implementation of the reforms. This advice ensures any changes to aged care consider a wide range of perspectives.
Council members are not organisation representatives. They are selected for their expertise and connections in the aged care sector.

Let's change aged care, together
Every Australian should feel confident about accessing high quality and safe aged care, when and where they need it.
The changes mean Older people will have greater choice and control, services that respect and meet their needs, and support to stay independent as they age.
