Urgent Aged Care Reform: Why Over-65s with MND Need an NDIS-Style Model Now!

Urgent aged care reform is needed now for Australians over 65 living with MND (Motor Neurone Disease). In this video, Patrik Hutzel from Intensive Care at Home explains why older MND patients are being left behind by current funding models—and why an NDIS-style system is essential to support complex needs such as BIPAP/CPAP ventilation, cough assist, tracheostomy care, 24/7 critical care nursing, and safe discharge from ICU.

Discover the funding inequality between NDIS participants under 65 and older Australians placed in the aged care system with far less support—often preventing them from going home safely despite identical medical needs.

Patrik breaks down:
✔ Why MND progresses rapidly regardless of age
✔ The huge funding gap between NDIS and aged care
✔ Why hospitals say “no funding” when home care is possible
✔ How ICU patients over 65 can still go home with the right advocacy
✔ How Intensive Care at Home saves 50% of ICU costs while improving quality of life
✔ What families MUST do to secure funding, safe discharge, and in-home critical care
✔ How this reform benefits hospitals, families, and the entire healthcare system
