澳大利亚的老龄人口增加了老年人护理的难度,催生了紧迫的改革和投资需求。 Australia's aging population is straining aged care, prompting urgent reforms and investment needs.

随着人口老化,澳大利亚人面临日益增长的老年护理危机,由于婴儿潮一代的需求激增,导致专家们警告即将到来的“定时炸弹”,除非进行重大投资。 Australians face a growing aged-care crisis as the population ages, with demand surging due to the Baby Boomer generation, leading experts to warn of a looming "time bomb" unless major investment is made. 超过200 000人生活在护理院,100万人获得家庭支助,预测显示,到2041年,85岁及以上人口将超过120万人,今后二十年每年需要9 300个新的护理床位。 Over 200,000 live in care homes and a million receive home support, with projections showing more than 1.2 million people aged 85 and over by 2041 and 9,300 new care beds needed annually for the next two decades. 联邦政府于11月生效的新《老年护理法》将政府资助的临床护理与非临床服务分开,后者现在需要经经济情况调查的共同付费。 The federal government’s new Aged Care Act, effective in November, separates government-funded clinical care from non-clinical services, which now require means-tested co-payments. 成功虽然被视为一项至关重要的改革,但取决于政治领导人和工业界领导人之间的持续合作。 While seen as a crucial reform, success depends on sustained cooperation among political and industry leaders. Regis Healthcare运营约8,200张床位，目标到2028年达到10,000张，尽管因人员成本担忧导致股价略有下跌，但其2026年的财务前景依然保持不变。 Regis Healthcare, operating about 8,200 beds and aiming for 10,000 by 2028, maintains its 2026 financial outlook despite a slight share price dip linked to staffing cost concerns.
