The aged care system in Australia serves elderly people over 65 years of age who can no longer live in their own homes without support. Different types of providers offer this service either in people's homes, in the community, or residential aged care facilities.
The 2022-23 budget of Australia has invested an additional AU$522 million in the aged care reforms, taking the government's commitment to these reforms to AU$18.8 billion.
