The Aged Care Advisory Council (ACAC) and the Council of Elders established, following a recommendation by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.

FECCA Chairperson, Ms Mary Patetsos, along with 16 other prominent leaders in the aged care sector, were today appointed to the National Aged Care Advisory Council.

The Council has a three-year mandate to provide expert advice on the ongoing reform in the aged care sector that will benefit older Australians, their families, and carers.

FECCA is pleased that culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities are represented on this panel of advisors with the inclusion of Ms Patetsos.

“A third of Australia’s ageing population is from CALD backgrounds. A growing proportion of the aged care workforce also come from these communities. We have a huge stake as the sector goes through significant reform,” Ms Patetsos said.
