Australasian Transport Research Forum Paper 2011

The Northern Sydney Regional Coordination Office made a submission to the Productivity Commission for the Inquiry into Caring for Older Australians. The Inquiry invited interested parties to register their interest in an inquiry into Australia''s aged care arrangements. In undertaking the Inquiry, the Commission will develop options for further structural reform of the aged care system so it can meet the challenges facing it in coming decades.

For more information on the Inquiry, visit the Productivity Commission's website at http://www.pc.gov.au/projects/inquiry/aged-care

The Northern Sydney Regional Coordination Office is part of a group of metropolitan based Community Transport providers who have formed a Future Directions Working Group to start planning for the changes that will occur to the Community Transport sector due to the COAG decision to split aged and disability services funding.

The members of the Future Directions Working Group have made a joint submission to the Productivity Commission Inquiry into Caring for Older Australians.
