Published 25 August 2024, revised 27 August 2024

AHPA’s Aged Care Working Group will shortly complete a paper proposing a sustainable model of care for allied health in residential aged care. The paper identifies the key problems for current allied health provision in aged care, and proposes a solution which is underpinned by a multidisciplinary model and a nationally consistent assessment of allied health needs.

This fact sheet details the problem, the solution and the key elements of the multidisciplinary model.
