After months of painstaking negotiations, the government has secured bipartisan support to overhaul Australia's aged care system.
Key Points
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the aim is to have more Australians live at home as they get older, but paying more for the care they receive there.
- The changes have been welcomed by aged care providers, who say the government's new laws give the industry certainty for the future.
- The centrepiece to the bill is a new Support at Home program, which promises shorter wait times and more tailored support.
