Affordable, effective and quality care is essential to Australia’s ageing population and the growing number of older people choosing to age in place. This report offers a range of insights into the barriers experienced by older Australians and their carers in evaluating and accessing home care services.

This short paper sets out a vision for adult social care as a Universal Basic Service (UBS), with an emphasis on the achievement of social goals.

The purpose of this report is to describe the key themes and findings from online surveys of aged care consumers and aged care providers, regarding best practice models for engagement between consumers and providers.

This literature review examines published peer-reviewed articles and a broader set of literature, including strategies, reports, guidelines and toolkits to gain an understanding of existing models of co-design that have been successfully applied in a range of sectors and which could be applied in Australian aged care.

The quality of life of older people is significantly affected by the way in which long-term care (LTC) is provided. The aim of this review is to provide learnings for the aged care system in Australia and to situate the Australian aged care system within the appropriate global context.
