Important Updates to Aged Care in 2025 & GoCo Office Closures over the Christmas Period

27 Dec, 2024

At GoCo Care Australia, we are committed to keeping our community informed about upcoming changes in the aged care sector and ensuring you’re well-prepared for any transitions. Here’s what you need to know:

Changes to Aged Care from July 2025

The Australian Government has announced significant updates to the home care program, set to commence on 1 July 2025. These changes stem from the new Aged Care Bill, which has recently been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Senate committee.

The Federal Government plans to release more detailed information about the transition to the Support at Home program by February 2025. To help you better understand what’s coming, we’ve included a flyer from the Department of Health and Aged Care featuring a helpful Q&A section. As we continue to gather and analyze information, we’ll keep you updated on how these changes may affect the services you receive from GoCo. If you have any immediate concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (02) 6740 2240 or via email at info@gococare.com.au.
