flag Australia’s new Aged Care Act, starting 1 Nov 2025, replaces home support with higher copayments, risking seniors’ access to care.

flag The new Aged Care Act, effective 1 November 2025, introduces the Support at Home program, replacing the Commonwealth Home Support Program. flag It will impose steep copayments on older Australians based on income and assets, with pensioners potentially paying up to 80% for domestic help. flag Over 200,000 face long waits for care, and 83,000 new packages won’t meet demand. flag Critics warn the changes may force seniors to choose between basic needs, increasing hospitalizations. flag The reforms also strengthen worker protections, introduce new screening, and include an eLearning toolkit for providers.
