The Department of Health is holding a series of webinars to share information about the aged care reforms announced in the Federal Budget and in response to the Aged Care Royal Commission.

These webinars are an opportunity for anyone using or needing aged care, working in aged care or interested in improving aged care in Australia, to learn more about the reforms.

Upcoming webinars will cover:

• quality of life and care for people living with dementia
• accessibility of and outcomes for people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds receiving aged care services
