The Senate Standing Committees on Community Affairs is accepting submissions for the inquiry into the impact of home care delays.

The inquiry will examine the impact of the delay of the Support at Home program while also withholding the release of additional Home Care Packages on older Australians, aged care service providers, care workers, hospitals and the feasibility of reducing waiting times for Home Care Packages. It will also assess the single assessment system’s readiness.

Details of the inquiry can be found here
