Division Responsibilities
Service Delivery Division is responsible for providing older Australians with quality

collaboratively across the Ageing and Aged Care Group and Department to ensure:

The My Aged Care website, contact centre, and face-to-face workforce are providing

senior Australians with contemporary, easy to understand information about the
aged care system and the services that are available to them.

There is stronger integration between the health care and aged care systems so that

senior Australians can transition between settings more easily and get the right care
at the right time.

We have a robust intelligence and networking capability to support policy

development, program design and delivery, including programs and policies that
impact the outcomes for senior Australians.

There is appropriate support for the aged care sector to respond to COVID19 and

other emergency situations.

Our presence across the country increasingly allows for a localised, regional

approach to health and aged care system regulation and management.

and emergency management.

improvements in local delivery of aged care services.
