The Morrison Government is continuing to implement its response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, with a further financial investment of $632.6 million.

This builds on the record funding of $17.7 billion already committed in the 2021-22 Budget, based on a five pillar five year plan to ensure senior Australians receive the care, respect and dignity they deserve.

The Morrison Government’s additional commitments in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) MYEFO update brings the total investment in response to the Royal Commission’s final report to more than $18.3 billion, and more than $19.5 billion since the Royal Commission was established in 2018.
