Australia's aged care system exists to support older people to live with dignity, safety and choice.

But what happens when the care isn't there?

When assessments don't reflect someone's needs. When approved support never arrives. When services are reduced or withdrawn. When families are expected to fill the gaps. When an older person has to wait months for help they need now.

On paper, these can look like funding decisions, waiting lists, workforce shortages or administrative processes.

The human cost of cuts.
