Illawarra Shoalhaven LHD is tackling aged care bed block through a coordinated approach that blends system reform, financial modelling, and new models of care. By analysing cost per bed, exploring funding structures, and redesigning care pathways, the LHD is enabling more constructive negotiations between Aged Care providers and hospitals. Join Lou Fox as she unpacks how partnerships combined with scalable alternatives such as care-at-home, can reshape flow and outcomes for older patients.

• Collaborative strategies that strengthen hospital–aged care relationships and improve transfer quality
• Alternative models of care and their impact on flow, safety, and patient experience
• Practical steps for reducing aged care–related incidents and easing bed block across the system
