Information gathered through the Stocktake will provide greater insight into how the HCP Program operates and may inform workforce planning for the aged care sector and reform options for a new support at home program. In their Final Report, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety referenced the benefits that greater transparency of operations will provide the sector.

All approved HCP providers who are currently operating and provided care to people in June 2021. Participation is voluntary. However, the Department strongly encourages you to participate to ensure your circumstances are considered as part of the analysis.

The department has engaged Forms Administration to collect data on its behalf. Responses will be provided to the department in aggregate form. Feedback will be provided to the sector based on analysis of information received. The data collected will not be used for any compliance activity.

The Stocktake is open from 9am (AEST), Monday 20 September 2021 to 5pm (AEDT), Friday 19 November 2021.
