29 May 2026 Keeping Older Queenslanders independent at Home
Every family wants their loved one to feel safe, supported and respected as they age. But across Queensland, increasing pressure on hospitals and workforce shortages are making it harder for older Australians to access the right care at the right time.
Australia’s population is ageing rapidly. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare estimates the number of Australians aged 65 and over will almost double by 2057, placing growing pressure on hospitals, aged care services and community supports.
At the same time, hospitals across Queensland are experiencing high demand, longer emergency department wait times and earlier patient discharges. This often leaves older people and their families trying to navigate complex care needs with limited support and unclear pathways.
The challenges are practical and affect real people every day.
Many older Australians remain in hospital longer than necessary because appropriate home supports or transitional care services are not available when they are ready to leave. Workforce shortages across nursing, allied health and community care also continue to place pressure on the quality and availability of care both at home and in residential settings.
The Royal Commission into Aged Care highlighted ongoing concerns around staffing, safety, access to services and the need for better coordinated care. While improvements are being made, there is still significant work to do to support older Australians to remain safe and independent at home.
What must change
1. Clearer pathways between hospital and community care.
Older people should not remain in hospital simply because support services are unavailable. Queensland needs stronger transitional care and short-term restorative programs that help people leave hospital safely, regain independence and reduce unnecessary hospital stays. Grow the workforce with targeted training and retention.
2. Growing and supporting the workforce
A strong aged care system relies on skilled and supported workers. Investment in training, career pathways, clinical development and staff wellbeing is essential to attract and retain nurses, support workers and allied health professionals.
3. Using technology to improve care
Technology should support — not replace — human care. Telehealth, remote monitoring and improved communication systems can help identify concerns earlier, reduce avoidable hospital visits and support people to remain safely at home for longer.
4. Funding services that focus on outcomes
Aged care funding should prioritise services that improve quality of life, promote independence and reduce avoidable hospital admissions, rather than simply responding after a crisis occurs.
5. Supporting families and carers
Families and informal carers play a critical role in helping older people remain at home. They need access to clear information, respite services, training and ongoing support to confidently navigate the aged care system.
Practical steps we are taking
At Your Enabled Services, we are focused on building a local, responsive model of care that supports older Queenslanders to remain independent in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
We are developing stronger connections between hospital discharge teams, GPs, allied health professionals and community supports to improve care coordination and reduce delays when people transition home from hospital.
Our approach includes rapid community assessments, short-term restorative supports, ongoing care management and proactive monitoring for clients who may be at higher risk of hospital readmission.
We also continue to invest in staff training, communication systems and technology that helps our team respond quickly when a client’s needs change.
Most importantly, we recognise that every person’s situation is different. Good, aged care should never be one-size-fits-all. It should be flexible, respectful and focused on helping people maintain dignity, independence and connection to their community.
Working Together for Better Aged Care
No single organisation can solve the challenges facing aged care alone. Governments, hospitals, healthcare providers, community organisations and families all have an important role to play in creating a system that works better for older Australians.
With better transitional care, stronger workforce investment, practical use of technology and improved community supports, we can reduce unnecessary hospital stays and improve quality of life for older Queenslanders.
The challenges are significant, but they are not impossible to solve.
At Your Enabled Services, we believe older Australians deserve care that is responsive, respectful and focused on independence. By working together with families, healthcare professionals and the wider community, we can help more older Queenslanders live safely and confidently at home for longer.
If you or a loved one would like support navigating aged care services, our team is here to help.
