New Aged Care System Hurting Seniors | Sydney News
Description
Australia’s outgoing aged care watchdog warns the new home care system is backfiring, pushing seniors away from vital support and forcing more into costly residential care.

The inspector-general urges a complete overhaul—prioritizing smart spending over building more beds—to keep older Australians independent at home and avoid a far pricier crisis down the road.
