HAAG welcomes the provision in the Aged Care Bill Exposure Draft that the aged care system offers accessible, culturally appropriate, trauma-aware and healing-informed funded services.
We recommend that protections for diverse population be strengthened, that housing be recognised as a human right, and to fund specialist housing support services through the Care Finder program.
We all need secure and affordable housing to be safe and healthy as we age. That’s why we provide support for older people experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness, advice for people in Retirement Housing, connect older people with Aged Care, and advocate for older people’s housing.

Since January 2023, HAAG has transitioned from our long-term Assistance with Care and Housing (ACH) program into becoming a care finder. We explain what the changes mean for our service, and what care finder can do for you.
