Ageing & aged care

Victoria's ageing and aged care agenda supports policy, programs and services to meet the needs of an increasing number of older Victorians with quality care by the best health workers.

This includes supporting older Victorians’ ability to age well by optimising health and wellbeing at all life stages, addressing disadvantage and improving social participation.

Supporting independent living

My Aged Care assessment services

Home and Community Care Program for Younger People

The Home and Community Care Program for Younger People provides services for people with disabilities and their carers.

Dementia-friendly environments
