AAG SECG & ERA present: Recent Aged Care Policy Reforms and Research Implication
Update and Implications for Translational Research in Aged Care
Major government policy reforms to residential aged care have recently occurred in late 2023 with the transition from the Aged Care Funding Instrument to the Australian National Aged Care Classification model. Major changes include staffing, access to funding, and the expanded diversity of allied health professionals and treatments, to name a few.

Additionally, there is an ever-increasing push for translational research to produce more meaningful and practical treatments that directly benefit those living within aged care. However, designing and implementing these trials in aged care is difficult, and with amidst recent policy reforms it is vital that research design adapts to remain relevant.
