In this interview from Australian Healthcare Week 2019, we chat to Jim Nicolson, Manager – Aged Care Reform at the New Zealand Ministry of Health about:

• Recognising the valuable contribution and opportunities of an aging population and balancing these considerations in reform to generate an illness to wellness environment to promote healthy living
• Developing a new framework for home care community support as part of their reform
• Integrating models of care with other health and social housing type services
• Overcoming challenges around growing financial pressure and resource prioritisation
