National Aged Care Advocacy Program Variation

Overview

Since 1990 independent aged care advocacy services have served a vital function in supporting those accessing, or seeking to access aged care services to understand and exercise their rights. The NACAP is funded under the Aged Care Act 1997 and contributes to Outcome 6: Ageing and Aged Care of the Department of Health’s Portfolio Budget Statements. The intended outcome of the grant opportunity is: older people are better able to understand and exercise their aged care rights and make informed decisions about their care.
