Lack of preparation blamed for virus deaths
The federal government failed to prepare the aged-care sector for the pandemic. In Victoria, 655 (82 per cent) of the 801 people who died during the second wave were residents in private aged care homes. The Prime Minister, Health Minister and the regulator need to explain to all of us exactly how this heart-breaking tragedy – which many of us predicted – occurred on their watch.

Victoria s Health Minister says a report into the state s two deadliest nursing home outbreaks does not go far enough, and has criticised the Federal Government for a whole range of concerns within the sector.
Key points:
Health Minister Martin Foley has pushed for aged care staff to be limited to one facility during the pandemic
Aged care report reveals serious failures in Melbourne facilities 22/12/2020|1min
A new report has revealed two nursing homes at the centre of Melbourne’s devastating second wave were inadequately prepared to respond to emergencies.
A review into St Basil’s Home for the Aged and Heritage Care’s Epping Gardens found the homes had deteriorated into a shocking state during the pandemic, with infections established within the sites before effective responses were put in place.
Staffing was found to be scarce, with workers sent in to help also having not worked in the aged care sector before.
