초록

With a paradigm shift in the aged care policy framework from passive protection to active and positive ageing, there has been an increased attention to home and community-based aged care services. As a forerunner that has experienced population ageing, Australia has had long policy engagements that have been aligned with the concept of 'ageing-in-place', which refers to supporting old people to live in their home and community as long as possible before entering aged care facilities. Australia has continued this policy as part of sustainable aged care. By the recent introduction of Long-term Care Insurance Scheme, South Korea has made a significant forward step to keep pace with the global trend of aged care policy. However, it is understood by this research that current aged care system of South Korea needs an early review for the establishment of strategic direction for future development. The primary aim of this research is to provide an overview of the features of policy arrangements of the Australian aged care system. Its strengths and the current policy issues are further explored in terms of the policy efficacy in supporting ageing-in-place. This research utilizes the policy review of Australian aged care to draw implications for Korean aged care policy.
