The ‘downside’ of Australia’s aged care reforms

ACSA Chief Executive Paul Sadler comments on the concern surrounding the increased cost of basic care, which will potentially come with the aged care reforms.

“The downside for people using this system is they are going to be asked to contribute more towards it,” Mr Sandler said.

“There are new participant contributions that will be required of people using the new support home program.

“The government, though, has made clinical care services, such as nursing, allied health, free.”
