Productivity Commission Submission to the Review of Pricing Arrangements in Residential Aged Care

Productivity Commission

HEW from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The Commission’s submission to the Review of Pricing Arrangements for Residential Aged Care draws on earlier work, including its inquiry into Nursing Home Subsidies and a major conference on Policy Implications of the Ageing of Australia’s Population. The submission provides an assessment of the current funding and service delivery arrangements for aged care services; an analysis of the implications of ageing, trends in disability rates and other key influences on the future demand for and cost of these services; and an examination of the merits of a number of reform options, including broader changes to secure the aged care system’s effective performance in the longer term.
