On 12 August 2019 AAG lodged submissions to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. This submission is intended to assist the Royal Commission into Aged Care, governments and other key stakeholders to address inequities of access and outcomes for older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities under the current aged care reform program, and suggest directions for the future by:
• raising the profile of the needs of older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities
• informing policy and advocacy for older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities
• ensuring that the aged care reform process meets the needs of older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities
• identifying priority areas for action.
