Anglicare Sydney welcomed the announcement from the Federal Government of 20,000 additional home care packages to be released between now and October.
CEO of Anglicare Sydney, Simon Miller said: "We have been advocating for the urgent release of these packages, as delays have seen thousands of Australians denied the care they urgently need, putting strains on hospitals, carers and taxpayers more broadly.
"We're pleased the Government has listened to the sector's calls on this issue and we look forward to working with them to help support more Australians to be cared for at home."
