Your application information will be provided to the Department of Health for the Department to decide which applications should go forward. However, any other information provided as part of our work and our report will not be provided to the Department of Health. An unidentified summary level report will be provided to the Department of Health to provide an overview of the advisory services we have provided and to communicate key themes and issues being experienced in the sector.

Complete the application for business advisory services here.

To apply, your business must: 

• be an approved aged care provider in Australia with a National Approved Provider System (NAPS) ID, and 

• not be a State Government entity.

Eligibility to receive services under the program will usually be assessed at the approved provider level (i.e the entity that is registered as an approved provider under the Aged Care Act 1997) however if you are a provider that operates on a largely autonomous basis under an 'umbrella' registration you can also apply for assistance.

No. The services are entirely paid for by the Australian Government.

PwC will produce a report for your organisation which will summarise the insights obtained throughout the business advisory services, including recommendations to improve the capability of your organisation.

PwC will support you by:

• helping you to strengthen capability and skills in your business,
• identifying opportunities for improvement,
• providing you an action plan to keep improving your business after the service ends, and
• connecting you with other relevant organisations that can assist you.

Any compliments or complaints can be lodged via the form here.
