Aged care reforms start on 1 November 2025

Published: 5 June 2025

The Australian Government has announced the new Aged Care Act 2024, including the Support at Home program, will start on 1 November 2025.

This gives you more time to prepare your workers and systems for these reforms.

You’ll also have more time to have important conversations with older people about the changes and how they will impact them.

Learn more on the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing website.
