Submitted to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (March 2020).

We support reforms to aged care systems and services to better support older Australians. We consider it vital that the aged care system is changed to improve the availability of allied health services, including access to Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs).

In this submission, we have given our feedback on the draft propositions relating to allied health services put forward in the paper ‘Adelaide Hearing 5 – Draft Propositions’, with the aim of improving access to primary allied health care by Australians receiving aged care services.
