Anglicare Sydney < 1 mins read

Anglicare Sydney welcomes the Albanese Government’s decision to delay the start of the new Aged Care Act to 1 November 2025.

This revised timeline recognises the scale of the changes ahead and will help ensure a smoother transition for older Australians, their families, and aged care providers. It also shows the Government is listening to the sector.

“Taking the time to get this right will lead to stronger outcomes for everyone, especially older Australians who rely on quality care and support,” said Simon Miller, CEO of Anglicare Sydney.

Anglicare Sydney remains committed to working with Government to deliver meaningful reform, and to providing an aged care system that puts dignity, quality and respect at its core.
