CARING FOR OLDER AUSTRALIANS

The Albanese Labor Government is caring for older Australians by delivering once-in-a-generation reform to aged care, making medicines cheaper, increasing pensions and bulk billing.

  • Pensioners can work more hours without a cut to their payment
  • $7.70 cap to PBS medicines with a concession card
  • Energy bill relief
  • Delivering better care in aged care with capped management fees, 24/7 nursing, star ratings and $11.3 billion to deliver a pay rise for aged care workers
  • $4.3 billion to reduce wait times and increase places for Support at Home.

We’re making sure older Australians and their loved ones will be able to access a better aged care system that puts quality care and safety first.
