Economic Reform Roundtable: SVA submission to the Treasury

Our submission to the government's Economic Reform Roundtable outlines SVA's perspective on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Australia's care economy.

SVA advocates for strategic investments and policy changes to enhance the quality and productivity of care services, while emphasising that a solely financial view of the care economy risks neglecting the primary goal of providing quality care to Australia’s population.

SVA prioritises several key areas for improvement:

• reconsidering funding models to incentivise innovation and long-term sustainability,
• aligning government efforts toward shared outcomes through better data and early intervention,
• and supporting not-for-profit providers with adequate funding, digital investment, and workforce development to ensure robust service delivery.
