THE Federal Government Department of Health has announced the release of a public discussion paper to help inform future care at home reforms.
Minister for Aged Care Ken Wyatt said older Australians wanted better choices and improved access to services to help them continue to live active and healthy lives in their own homes and communities.
"The reforms the Australian Government has introduced in recent years aim to put consumers in control of their care.
"The goal is a more consumer-driven, market-based and nationally consistent system -- one that is fair and supports older Australians."
Before further reforms are implemented, the Health Department wants to have more stakeholder input, releasing a discussion paper.
