Ageing Australia Advocacy
Ageing Australia actively represents the interests of members and older people through sector reform and transformation. Leading positive change for Australia’s aged care sector.
We acknowledge the need to empower consumers and look to partner with leaders to improve services, sector transparency and the wellbeing of older Australians.
We provide authoritative guidance, communication and advocacy to inform and influence the direction of aged care reform and innovation by:
- providing sophisticated and comprehensive advice and guidance to members
- leading sector research and policy development
- partnering with sector experts to produce high quality, evidence-based research and analysis
- collaborating with sector leaders to develop comprehensive and innovative policy to promote positive aged care reform
- undertaking future-orientated research and thought leadership.
Valuing and representing member voices through advocacy
Ageing Australia unifies providers to speak with a single authoritative and trusted voice.
Empowering members and representing their concerns to all levels of government, community and the media is our priority.
The diversity of provider knowledge, interests and operations is a valuable resource to empower aged care research, advocacy and services.
Our organisational structure is built to reflect the diversity of the sector and value each individual member’s voice.
