More than 100,000 people are still on wait lists for in-home aged care despite the wait times falling.
The latest quarterly data for the first three months of 2026 showed wait times go down by two weeks for high priority cases from between 1.5 and 2.5 months to between one and two months.
Medium-priority cases have fallen from between eight to nine months to between six and seven months, while standard priority cases are down from between 10 and 11 months to between seven and eight months.
The figures also revealed 364,723 people now have access to support at home places, up almost 18,000 people on the previous quarter.
But despite the increase in places, 100,191 people are still on a waitlist for approval.
