The Aged Care (Allocation of Transition Care Program Places for 2026-2027) Determination 2026 is a legal notice that sets the number of Transition Care Program places that can be allocated across Australia for the 2026-2027 financial year.
The Transition Care Program helps older people after a hospital stay to recover before returning home or moving into aged care.
