The Grand Plan

The Campaign for Care of Older Australians Group is made up of the peak bodies and faith-based national service providers of residential and community aged care currently serving the overwhelming majority of older Australians needing care and support.

Dear Minister,

I ask you to support The Grand Plan. The Federal Government must ensure the future health and wellbeing of older Australians.

Aged care services are struggling. 60% of residential homes battle financially and people living in the community who once received 7 hours of home support per week, now only get 5.

Older Australians deserve to live with dignity and independence in a place of their choosing, with access to appropriate support and care services when they need them.

Increased funding must be promised at the forthcoming election to pay for the rising price of food, transport, wages and building costs. This funding will mean that older Australians can stay at home if they choose and enter quality residential care when needed.

At the very least, the Federal Government needs to commit to The Grand Plan’s mission to implement aged care reforms to ensure greater choice, access and sustainability.

I'd like a local Campaign for the Care of Older Australians (CCOA) representative to meet and discuss the issues facing your electorate. They will be in touch soon. Or, if you want to talk sooner, please contact a CCOA member at info@agedcare.org.au.
