The Aged Care Royal Commission identified Denmark as the leaders in providing long-term care for its people.

Denmark stands out for its integrated health and early intervention strategy that creates a home care program that averages just two hours per week and halves the percentage of people in residential care compared to Australia.

They have a tax-based universal comprehensive coverage for long-term care with a high expenditure of approximately 4.3% of GDP, equally split across home care and residential care.
