Aged Care Act and Support at Home Delayed to 1 November 2025
The Australian Government has announced that the new Aged Care Act 2024 and Support at Home (SAH) program will now start on 1 November 2025, instead of 1 July.
Minister for Aged Care and Seniors, Sam Rae MP, said the change follows feedback from older Australians, families, carers, and aged care workers. The extra time will help everyone better understand the changes and prepare for what’s ahead.
The new Act will strengthen the rights of older people and improve care quality. It includes clear guidelines for how aged care providers and workers must act.
People receiving care through Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care will continue receiving services until Support at Home is rolled is officially rolled out.
