Further information

The department is seeking feedback from all interested stakeholders on A new model for regulating Aged Care, Consultation Paper No.2: Details of the proposed new model by 5pm AEST, 23 June 2023.

The department is developing the new model in response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety findings.

The new model proposes changes to the way aged care is delivered to improve the quality of care for older people and prevent, detect and correct poor provider performance.

We invite you to have your say.

Visit the Aged Care Engagement Hub – regulatory model page to read the consultation paper and share your feedback. You can also watch the webinar recording, view the presentation slides and read the frequently asked questions.

We’re hosting a webinar on 9 May 2023 at 2-3pm AEST with a live Q&A session to discuss the model and answer your questions. Register to attend here.

You can also register your interest in participating in workshops on the design of the new model, planned to be held in June 2023.
