Ageing Australia welcomes the Albanese Government’s decision to immediately release 20,000 home care packages, after calls from Ageing Australia, older people, and providers, and the consistent support of senators from across the political spectrum.

MEDIA RELEASE | 3 September 2025

“We congratulate the Government on heading our calls, with so many Australians waiting for care in their own homes.”

“Providers are ready to act immediately and deliver more packages across Australia. As we heard recently, 98 per cent of members tell us they have the capacity and are ready to go.”

“We also thank all sides of politics for championing this issue and calling for the release of more packages, before 1 November.”

“This is the start of the long road to getting people off wait-lists and getting the care they need.”
