Good policy starts with good data.

The Residential Aged Care Accommodation Census will help build a clearer picture of Australia's residential aged care capacity and future needs. As our population becomes more diverse, understanding capacity means looking beyond the number of available beds. It also means considering language support, culturally safe care, workforce capability, and services that are accessible and responsive to culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Better visibility leads to better planning and better outcomes.

🐄 A cow, a doctor and a remarkable discovery
What do cows have to do with winter vaccinations?

More than you might think.

The story behind the world's first vaccine began with a country doctor, a milkmaid and an observation that changed medical history forever.

Read the latest Seniors Voice article to discover how this remarkable breakthrough continues to protect millions of people today, and why staying up to date with your winter vaccinations is still one of the best ways to protect yourself against influenza (flu), COVID-19 and RSV.

💉 Speak with your GP or pharmacist about the vaccinations recommended for you.
