Extra Aged Care Funding Welcomed | Aged Care Australia | GIHC

The federal budget was released last week with some which brought some welcome news. The aged care sector will receive a $5.06 billion increase in funding this year compared to last year, coming to $36.03 billion.

An additional 9,500 home care packages will be made available over the next 12 months, at a cost of $166.8 million.

There is a considerable increase in funding for residential aged care in an effort to help with the current staffing crisis. There have been 23 nursing homes that have closed since the 24/7 registered nurse onsite mandate came into action late last year, which is a year earlier than what was recommended by the royal commission.

Get into contact with us for any in-home aged care requests.
