Submission: New Model for Regulating Aged Care

This submission by The Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) is on the new model for regulating Aged Care and drew insights from thousands of older persons and carers, aged care workers, service providers, and community leaders and touchpoints.

FECCA has had a longstanding presence in policy and advocacy on ageing, aged care, disability, and overall health of culturally and linguistically diverse Australians. It is funded by the Department of Health as the peak body for older persons from CALD backgrounds and has provided expert advice and led initiatives to mobilise community participation in the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
