Australians are getting older and the need for good quality aged care is a growing concern. Many dont know about the services and how they can access them.


Australias aged care sector is under pressure to meet the growing demand.

The latest Intergenerational Report says that aging population is expected to reach nearly 40 million by 2055 with nearly a quarter of that over the age of 65.

Aged Care services have changed significantly over the last 15 years. One major change is the setup of My Aged Care, a call centre and website service launched by the government in July 2015 where elderly people can request aged care services tailored to their needs.
