Applications are now open for the Dementia and Aged Care Services (DACS) Research and Innovation Funding Round.

Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Ken Wyatt AM, MP, said $34 million in grants are now being offered to eligible organisations for innovative projects that will support older Australians to access the care they need, where and when they need it.

“This funding will help to identify barriers that restrict access and choice for consumers in the current aged care system and make sure the special needs of consumers from diverse backgrounds are met, both appropriately and sensitively,” Minister Wyatt said.

“This includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex.”
