Ageing Australia is proud to publish the highly regarded aged care sector magazine, Aged Care Today.

Managed entirely by Ageing Australia, Aged Care Today is produced in-house – from advertising to editorial to magazine design – so we can ensure a seamless process and personalised support.

A valuable resource for aged care providers – including retirement living, seniors housing, residential care, home care, community care and related services – we endeavour to source the most relevant, insightful, inspiring and forward-thinking editorial, in our carefully curated content.

Our quarterly Aged Care Today magazine is delivered in hard copy to our members – who represent three in four aged care providers nationally – and electronically to a database of more than 25,000 individuals who work in the sector.

Building on the foundations

If the past few years have been laying the foundations for aged care reform, the next few years must be about getting it right.

Reflections from the Ageing in Australia Community Expectations Report 2026

When Ageing Australia launched its first study of its kind earlier this year, the Ageing in Australia Community Expectations Report 2026, we set out to answer a simple but important question: what do Australians really think about ageing, aged care and growing older in this country?

Federal snapshot

For the aged care sector, the priority is clear: keep reform practical, keep it coordinated and keep it anchored to what older people, providers and communities need in the real world.

State snapshots

When aged care capacity falls short, hospitals carry the pressure, discharge slows and people remain in settings that are no longer right for their needs.

Behind the scenes:

Although I’m now based in Sydney, I called Canberra home for most of my life. There is more than a mid-Autumn chill in the air in May each year as people from around the country descend on the Capital for budget. This year, I was one of them as I joined Tom Symondson and the team in Canberra for the 2026-27 budget.

Ageing Australia in the media:

The aged care reform agenda drove a sharp rise in media attention across the first half of 2026. What stands out, however, is that the conversation did not fade once the initial burst of interest passed.

A year of reform

This has been one of the most significant periods of reform for retirement living and seniors housing in Australia, with state and territory governments progressing legislative and regulatory changes designed to strengthen consumer protections, improve transparency and modernise the sector.

Getting CHSP reform right

Good policy doesn't exist for its own sake. If done well, it creates better outcomes for older Australians, gives providers the confidence and resources they need, and leaves the system stronger than we found it.

Chief Policy & Advocacy Officer, Ageing Australia

Spring 2026, pg 32-33

National Update

Reconciliation in action:

When Ageing Australia launched its first Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we described it as more than a document. It was a commitment to listen, learn and take practical steps towards reconciliation – within our organisation and through our role as the national peak body for aged care, retirement living and seniors housing.

Manager, Growth & Strategic Initiatives, RAP Champion, Ageing Australia
