The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety has heard its first evidence in Adelaide.
A day before the first witnesses arrived, the federal government announced additional funding for the sector worth $660 million.
At the first hearing to take evidence in Adelaide, counsel assisting the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, Peter Gray, said there is evidence Australia's aged care system is too complex.
He said numerous aged care reviews and inquiries over the past three decades had been limited in their scope and not able to address the matter at a national level.
He says this inquiry is important for every Australian.
