Supporting older patients: New Aged Care Act stakeholder toolkit

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has released a stakeholder toolkit to help aged care providers, peak bodies, advocacy organisations and community groups inform older people, their families and carers about what to expect when the new Aged Care Act starts on 1 November 2025..

General practices may find the toolkit useful when supporting older patients and their families. It includes:

• links to videos, animations, booklets and other resources  

• key messages to support conversations with older people, their families and carers 

• content for your website, newsletters and social media.

Our resources are translated into various languages, and our videos are available in Auslan.
