This Commonwealth Royal Commission was established on 8 October 2018 in response to questions about the quality of aged care in Australia highlighted by the ABC TV’s 4 Corners program “Who Cares?”.
The Commissioners began their investigations by seeking from major Approved Providers detailed responses to extensive questions raised by the Terms of Reference, subsequently conducting hearings and case studies on a wide range of issues.
The Commissioners delivered an interim report on 31 October 2019, a special report on COVID-19 and aged care on 1 October 2020, and a final report on 26 February 2021.
