CoPP | GOV | HEARING | Your say: Supporting Positive Ageing in Port Phillip | submissions close Sunday 7 December 2025

[Edited extract from public address]

Council is committed to helping older residents age positively, staying connected, independent, and well-supported in our community.

In line with this commitment, we're proposing to increase our direct investment in Council-funded aged care services each year and provide services designed locally to better meet the needs of our community.

At the same time, we're considering stepping back from delivering Commonwealth-funded aged care services. This change responds to national reforms that are making it harder for councils—especially those with smaller programs—to continue delivering these services effectively.

We invite you to share your thoughts on this proposal and help shape the future of aged care in Port Phillip.
