After a productive first term, applications were sought from older people with strong connections in their local communities and lived experience of aged care.
A rigorous selection process resulted in the appointment of 13 members, commencing in January 2024. Six members return to Council, with 7 new members appointed.
Appointed members are geographically and demographically diverse, ensuring the voices of a wide range of older people can be heard through the Council.
Opportunities to engage with the Council will be published on the Aged Care Engagement Hub. These may include surveys, webinars, online workshops, and consultation papers.
Open until the 16 February is consultation on the draft new Aged Care Act.
