Still no Federal Government plan for aged care crisis
The Morrison Government’s drip feed of funding into aged care does nothing to address the crisis that the sector is in.
“While the Morrison Government continues to feed money into a broken system, the workforce is being crushed by staff shortages, poor pay and insecure work,” HSU National Secretary Lloyd Williams said.
“While funding in the aged care sector is always welcome, right now it needs to be used as a tool for delivering real change.
“Many more home care packages are desperately needed, but they can’t be properly delivered if there isn’t a strong workforce and system in place first.”
