Big changes are coming to aged care.
From 1 November 2025, a new Aged Care Act will come into effect.
It introduces significant and complex changes to how aged care in Australia is delivered – with a focus on the rights and needs of older people.
Joint hosts OPAN and COTA - Australia’s leading advocacy organisations for the rights of older Australians.
Have your questions answered by the experts and get to know all the ins and outs of the new reforms.
These free sessions will give you the chance to:
Learn about the new Aged Care Act and what it means in practice
Understand what will change in the aged care system
Ask questions and get clear information
Share your views and experiences to help guide the rollout
Older Australians must be at the heart of this change. Your voice matters.
There’s one, 2-hour session per state, with space for approximately 50 people to attend in person and no limit as to how many can join online.
If you’d like to be there in person it makes sense to register as soon as you can to secure your spot.
