Office of the Inspector-General of Aged Care

Independent oversight to help make aged care safer, fairer and more transparent.

Who we are

We are an independent agency. We have oversight of the administration, regulation, and funding of the aged care system by the Australian Government.

Oversight of aged care

We call out systemic and significant issues in aged care, recommend change to government and parliament, and review complaints management processes.

Get involved

Engaging with the sector is important to our work. We value input from those within the sector, those representing the sector, and the public.

Public submissions open

We're examining the Australian Government's implementation of recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (Aged Care Royal Commission).

To help inform the review, public submissions are now open for people and organisations across the aged care system to share your views and experiences.
