The Aged Care Financing Authority (ACFA) wants fast feedback from the marketplace on the impact of the new residential aged care funding arrangements. Through the Department of Social Security, RSM Bird Cameron has been commissioned to send out an online survey. ACSA is encouraging operators to participate.

The study is being undertaken in the context of:
1. the fundamental changes in the funding mechanism
2. the need for a further 74,000 places over the next decade
3. the need to refurbish much of the existing stock
4. the need to ensure that no current on line places are lost as the industry transitions to the new funding model

Completing the form is voluntary and confidential. ACSA is seeking wide participation.
