Australian Aged Care System

The Australian Aged Care System provides support and services for older adults to maintain independence, well-being, and quality of life. It includes a range of options such as in-home care, which helps seniors stay at home with assistance, and residential aged care facilities for those needing more comprehensive support. Funded by the government and supplemented by personal contributions, the system aims to ensure accessible, safe, and respectful care tailored to individual needs. It also involves assessment processes to determine the level of care required and funding support, promoting dignity and choice for older Australians.
