Description

Australia is grappling with an ageing population, and aged care remains a sticking point in government funding arrangements.

But now, one university is thinking outside of the box.

The University of Canberra has announced it will develop a large-scale aged care community next to the University of Canberra Hospital, as part of a 100-year agreement to bring residents closer to where healthcare staff are trained.

  • Guest: Bill Shorten, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canberra and former Labor opposition leader
