flag Australia’s 2025 home care reforms failed seniors, causing delays, underfunding, and at least 4,812 deaths due to a flawed algorithm.

flag A new report reveals serious flaws in Australia’s 2025 Support at Home reforms, with seniors facing long delays, denied funding, and inadequate care due to an opaque algorithm that underestimates needs. flag Many older people are cutting back on essential services, leading to preventable hospitalizations and at least 4,812 deaths while waiting for care. flag Despite government promises of a reliable system, wait times exceed 200 days for funding, and recipients often receive only 60% of their assessed support. flag Clinicians say the algorithm overrides professional judgment, resulting in harmful misclassifications and eroding trust in the aged care system.
