Aged Care Funding Shift
The Australian government is considering a major shift in funding aged care from a taxpayer levy to a means-tested user pay system. With the aging population and increasing demand for care, Minister Annika Wells heads a task force proposing means testing to involve wealthier individuals in funding their own care. This shift faces opposition from older Australians who argue against paying after years of taxation.
