Bolton Clarke’s inaugural Ageing Well Report, which was released on Monday, supports the case for increased consumer contributions.
The report is based on the results of a survey of more than 2,000 Australians aged 25 to 75-plus about attitudes to ageing, needs, care, and finances.
More than 80% said they or their family are responsible for caring for older people.
In addition, more than half (56%) agreed that the aged care sector is underfunded.
The results suggest that Australians are comfortable with the idea of taking some responsibility for funding their own aged care services to ensure they receive high quality care, rather than receive government-backed services in an underfunded system.

The SOURCE: Earlier this year, a survey by CompliSpace found that 77% of those surveyed believe it is the responsibility of each of us to fund our own care. The Bolton Clarke results back this up.
