COTA Australia welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety’s Consultation Paper 1 - “AGED CARE PROGRAM REDESIGN: SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE”.
COTA proposes strengthening current governance mechanisms in the first three years after the Royal Commission’s report before considering any move toward establishing a new System Governor.
The Assistive Technology for All Alliance provided a submission to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, and is endorsed by COTA Australia.
In the COVID-19 response Budget in October, we urge the Federal Government to prioritise the following areas:Pensions and Income Support
Future Retirement Income Policy
Aged Care Reform
Employment of older Australians
Housing
A whole-of-Government approach to an Ageing Australia
The design and distribution obligations (DADOs) should help to achieve a cultural shift within financial firms away from simply ‘selling’ financial products towards designing and distributing suitable products that meet customer needs. This submission comments on the revised exposure draft.
