ACS Vision Document

Partnering with State Government: A Vision for Aged and Community Care in SA aims to enhance discussion on matters that affect, both directly and indirectly, older South Australians. In preparing the Vision document, ACS consulted with a number of other industry groups and peak bodies to gain their perspectives on issues relating to aged care. It covers ten important areas, making suggestions regarding policy imperatives and advocating for a practical approach to a number of longstanding concerns, including:

• Workforce: a well-trained, valued workforce supported by flexible job design and innovative technology, appropriately remunerated
• Equipment and assistive technology sufficient resourcing and coordinated effort to support older people needing specialist equipment and technology
• Health care: promoting the wellbeing of older people through services which support health promotion, recovery, restoration, rehabilitation and oral health
• Housing and community connectedness: developing a variety of affordable, innovative and suitable housing options
• Well-resourced programs and services for family carers
• Recognition of older people with diverse needs; appropriate models of service for rural and remote areas; and sufficient resourcing for palliative care.
