Policy and Advocacy Aged Care Update 22 April 2024

The Office of the Inspector-General for Aged Care is undertaking a consultation for their report on the implementation of the Royal Commission recommendations. OTA held a roundtable discussion involving consumers who use allied health as part of their aged care services, and clinicians working in aged care, in conjunction with Physiotherapy Association and Speech Pathology Association. The Inspector General and members of his team attended the session, and it was a valuable opportunity for them to hear about the important role of allied health in aged care, and the impacts of recent reforms on the provision of these services.
