Three column rich text with boxes
Urgency
It's predicted that the structure of supply will need to shift, with larger increases in community care on the one hand and high-level residential care on the other. Supply-side adjustments will also be impelled by changes in the costs of the different types of aged care.
The proportion of people aged 65 years or over in the total population is projected to increase to 21% – 23% by 2066 and as the Australian population ages, the demands on the sector will continue to grow.
Complexity
Aged care is a complex policy and regulatory environment and has been subject to significant changes over the past 25 years. Monitoring, compliance and funding structures have also been in a state of flux.
There are also a large number of stakeholders and interest groups in the sector with competing and, at times, incompatible interests. Plus, the sector faces challenges in relation to financial sustainability.
Intractability
The Royal Commission has shown that many aspects of the aged-care system aren't meeting community expectations. Intractable problems such as these are often referred to as 'wicked problems' and require multi-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration to generate solutions.
There has been a long history of trying to resolve these questions, but only limited success: many of the issues at the heart of the current Royal Commission have been the focus of previous inquiries.
