Baptist Care Australia celebrates the passage of the new Aged Care Act through Parliament – a historic reform that represents a major step forward for Australia’s aged care sector.
Achieved through bipartisan support and following more than a year of negotiations, this transformative legislation addresses critical recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. It lays the groundwork for ensuring older Australians receive the care, dignity, and respect they deserve, while securing the system’s financial sustainability.
Now, the focus shifts to implementation. Baptist Care Australia remains committed to ensuring this reform achieves its intended outcomes and looks forward to continued collaboration with the Government and stakeholders during this vital transition phase.
This moment is monumental – but it’s only the beginning.
It’s like the birth of a child: a significant milestone that celebrates months of hard work and dedication. Yet, it also marks the start of a long and demanding journey, just when you're at your most exhausted.
