This paper will focus on the provision of community aged care services via ‘direct payments’ and ‘social enterprise’. These are two solutions that were not fully considered by the P roductivity C ommission as a way to make the provision of community aged care more sustainable in A ustralia. The empowerment component of social enterprise activities and ‘direct payments’ have the potential to generate improvements in the community aged care system.
