Aged Care

Building standards and capital funding are critical issues facing Australia's residential aged care industry. Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates are that 30 years from now, 21.3% of the Australian population will be 65 years or older. With this increase comes an expectation that place numbers made available by residential aged care providers will also rise.  Coupled with Commonwealth Government regulations ensuring higher quality building standards for aged care facilities, significant capital expenditure is going to be required to meet these demands.

Already government subsidies are not keeping pace with unavoidable cost increases occurring over many years. And the gap is widening each year. There is also growing community sentiment that individuals need to play a bigger role in managing their own retirement and care. This will translate into growing numbers who are prepared to make a greater contribution to such facilities to ensure they meet their expectations and requirements.

Alternative fundraising methods need to be pursued to meet these future challenges and Capital Fundraising has proven itself to be the most cost effective means to raise funds for organisations to assist with capital projects including building construction.
