What the program funds

The Market Adjustment Program grant opportunity builds on the Government’s existing Market Adjustment Program which supports residential aged care providers (providers) that are facing financial viability concerns by expanding that support to Support at Home providers. The program provides funding (including ‘critical failure’ funding) to avoid premature aged care provider closures and, in appropriate situations, to support orderly exits and service or provider consolidation.

How to apply
