Murwillumbah aged care supporters are highlighting the need for safe staffing levels ahead of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, which is due to hand down its final report on Friday.
As the Commission is expected to hand down a damning indictment of the Government's management of the aged care sector, members of the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association (NSWNMA) are calling on the Morrison Government, and all political parties, to act.
Association member, Claire Bathgate, said aged care could no longer be ignored by the government.
She said aged care nurses from Murwillumbah to Albury, Broken Hill to the Blue Mountains are highlighting the need for staffing ratios and greater transparency of government funding linked to care.
