Aged care report due for release
SYDNEY (AAP) - Aug. 07 - The Productivity Commission is set to release its much-anticipated final report into aged care in Australia.
The commission will release Caring for Older Australians in Canberra on Monday.
A draft report, released late last year, found the current system suffers several key weaknesses.
"It's difficult to navigate and the quantity of services is limited," the commission found.
It recommended a new independent regulatory commission be established and, somewhat controversially, allowing providers to charge bonds for high-care beds in nursing homes.
