Australia’s latest federal budget is expected to announce the most significant investment in aged care in Australian history, almost doubling initial predictions, in response to a damning royal commission into the sector.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg declined to confirm whether the aged care package could be almost $18 billion over four years, merely noting it will be worth more than $10 billion over previous speculations.
