Reactions are still going on in the federal budget announced by the Treasury Secretary on Tuesday. Australian sectors continue to analyze the budget to assess their gains or losses. In the next few minutes, we will highlight budget allocations for the services sector for the elderly, especially those targeted at housing services


The government has pledged $ 1.6 billion over the next four years to provide 14,000 opportunities in The Home Care Packages, which aims to keep the elderly in their homes for as long as possible, as well as funding mental health services for the elders in residential care

So can it be considered that the country's older people are the most prominent winners of the last budget? This question was posed by Hana Yassin to Mr. Ahmed Mukshar, Executive Director of Muslim Care, which serves the elderly in NSW
