Summary

In recent years, the Australian aged care landscape has been transformed to incorporate market-oriented principles underpinned by neoliberal tenets in response to the rising demand for aged care services. This article examines the Consumer Directed Care programme, in which approved organisations bid for government subsidies and compete to provide community-living aged care services accessed via My Aged Care. Key findings are around service accessibility, rurality and sustainability, exploring the advantages and challenges of this system.
