Benetas has successfully navigated the first nine months since the introduction of the new Aged Care Act, with a focus on minimising the impact to residents and clients, continuous improvement and supporting our team to navigate the complexity of the changes. Outgoing Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown said as much during her recent National Press Club address. Seniors remain comfortable in their own homes while saving the system money by not prematurely placing them in residential aged care, the most expensive form of care. The survey of 2,250 older Australians highlighted that 33 per cent have a basic understanding of Support at Home, but only 45 per cent find it easy to understand.
