From 1 November, a new Aged Care Act will come into effect.
This Act introduces important changes to how aged care in Australia is delivered - with a focus on the rights and needs of older people.
The reforms are significant and complex - and they may affect you or someone you care for.
To help people understand what’s changing, COTA Australia and the Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) are hosting information sessions around the country.
If you couldn't make the recent daytime sessions, this evening event is for you!
These sessions will provide an opportunity to:
Learn about the new Aged Care Act and what it means in practice
Understand what will change in the aged care system
Ask live questions and receive clear information
Share your views and experiences to help guide the rollout
Older people must be at the heart of this change. Your voice matters.
That’s why we’re encouraging older Australians, their families and other supporters, as well as interested community members, to attend and be part of the discussion.
These sessions are not designed for aged care providers or professionals.
Join us for this online information session on the 30th of October.
NOTE: If you require Auslan services, please contact Tamara from our team at +61 430 291 890, and we will be happy to arrange the service for you.
RSVP is essential, so please book your free spot today.
This event is being held online only. An access link will be emailed just prior to the event.
