Where is demand going?

Bernard Salt AM
Demographer and founder, The Demographics Group

Australia is getting older, but the story is not simply that more people will need care.

Bernard Salt will show where demand will grow, what baby boomers will expect and how their adult children will influence which services, and which providers, they will choose.

More demand does not automatically mean a better business. Providers will still need the right services, prices, workforce and operating model.

Bernard Salt opens the briefing by setting out the market that Support at Home providers must now prepare for.

Year one exposed the problems

Support at Home began with providers making big decisions using limited information. Prices were set, teams restructured and services redesigned before anyone knew how the new system would behave.

One year later, we now have evidence.

We know more about what customers will buy, which services are difficult to deliver profitably, where complaints are emerging and whether current workforce models can carry the demand.

Year one was about getting Support at Home running. Year two is about making it work.

This briefing brings the evidence together so you can decide what needs to change before 2027.

The program

Six questions providers need to answer

The program moves from demand to economics, customers, complaints, workforce and what providers should do next. Each session builds on the last.

Every session finishes with the same question: what should a provider do about this?
