The next steps for aged care: Forging a clear path after the Royal Commission

The Grattan Institute's 2021 report, The Next Steps for Aged Care, calls for an additional $10 billion annually to overhaul Australia's aged care system. It advocates for a rights-based Aged Care Act, universal funding akin to Medicare, and the employment of 70,000 more workers. Proposed funding mechanisms include an aged care levy and reforms to superannuation tax concessions.
