The introduction of AN-ACC in October 2022 produced the largest ever subsidy increase in Australian Aged Care and in July this year, both the Aged Care Award and subsidy will again realise historical increases . The largest ever pay increase for our aged care workers has been welcomed as it signifies real progress towards genuinely valuing the dedication and skill in this industry, and hopefully will help aged care providers attract and retain staff.
A new AN-ACC price announced in the budget. The new price for FY24 will add around 12% to the Average Daily Subsidy (ADS) for the industry.
Practical steps for providers that support and grow a sustainable workforce to meet your care minute target.
