AHHA submission on the New Aged Care Act

AHHA submission on the New Aged Care Act

7 March 2024

For more than 70 years, AHHA has been the national voice for public health care, maintaining its vision for an effective, innovative, and sustainable health system where all Australians have equitable access to health care of the highest standard when and where they need it.

As a national peak body, we are uniquely placed, in that we do not represent any one part of the health system. Rather, our membership spans the system in its entirety, including – public and notfor-profit hospitals, PHNs, community, aged care and primary healthcare services.

Our research arm, the Deeble Institute for Health Policy Research connects universities with a strength in health systems and services research, ensuring our work is underpinned by evidence.

In 2019, AHHA established the Australian Centre for Value-Based Health Care, recognising that a
person’s experience of health and health care is supported and enabled by a diverse range of
entities, public and private, government and non-government. The Centre brings these stakeholders
together around a common goal of improving the health outcomes that matter to people and
communities for the resources to achieve those outcomes, with consideration of their full care
pathway.
