CEO Craig Gear says he was pleased to see an additional $2.2 billion in funding to deliver key aged care reforms and to continue to implement recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.


He commented that though this Budget had a strong cost of living focus it should have done more for older people.
