Further information

We are seeking feedback on the design and new training and skills requirements of a national registration scheme to support personal care workers employed in aged care.

This is part of our commitment to provide safe, respectful and quality care for older people.

It will contribute to a more valued workforce and provide more professional opportunities and improved conditions for workers.

We want to hear from older people, their family and carers, providers, workers and training organisations.

Take the online survey now.

You can also email your feedback to AgedCareWorkforceReform@Health.gov.au.

Consultation closes on Thursday 17 April 2025.
