Aged Care Network
The Aged Care Network is a collaboration of health professionals, carers, consumers and other individuals, organisations and groups. These groups have a diverse experience in aged care and a common interest in planning and developing aged and health care policy and services across the state.
The Aged Care Network works within the umbrella of WA Health's Health Networks (opens in new window). The Aged Care Policy Directorate provides secretariat and policy and planning support to the network.
Membership of the network is drawn from 3 key advisory groups which include all stakeholders, providing cross-sectorial representation and a good basis for establishing collaborative initiatives.
