Aged Care in Dubbo & Across Australia
Aged care services can involve long and short-term support in a person’s home. Full-time care in a facility or residential care home may eventually be required for some individuals, and this can be highly beneficial for them and their families.
Between 2019 and 2020, over a million individuals in Australia received care, highlighting the substantial elderly population. Various services and roles were involved in this process. For instance, around 840,000 individuals benefited from the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, and about 245,000 people were permanent residents in aged care facilities.
With the increasing demographic of individuals over sixty-five, there is a marked demand for support workers. In 2020, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme employed 76,096 workers, and the Residential Aged Care sector had 277,671 workers. The comparison of numbers between elderly individuals needing care and the available workforce underscores the high demand for support workers.
