The hearing commenced at 9.30am (AWST) on Monday, 24 June 2019. It can be viewed through the Royal Commission's YouTube channel.

The Royal Commission inquired into:

• the factors that influence whether aged care services are delivered in a person-centred manner, including:
  • the relationships between the person accessing care, people providing support (including family and other members of the community) and the service provider
  • broader societal attitudes towards older people
• the perspective and experience of people who access aged care, including the ways in which aged care services are, or are not, person-centred
• good practice care models for providing person-centred aged care
• the role of advance care planning to support the provision of quality aged care services
• the extent to which people accessing aged care services are able to access palliative care
• the quality of palliative care services available to people accessing aged care services
