New Aged Care Reforms
The Australian Government is introducing major aged care reforms on 1 November 2025, including the Aged Care Act 2024, the new Support at Home program, Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, and an Aged Care Code of Conduct.
These changes will directly affect both Home Care and Residential Aged Care services at Harbison.
What is changing?
The final report from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety highlighted key recommendations to transform the aged care sector.
These reforms aim to ensure older people experience:
- Greater choice, control and dignity in the care they receive
- Access to services that are respectful and responsive to their individual needs
- Support to remain independent as they age
