an extension of Australian Defence Force support to the sector, saying up to 250 ADF general duties personnel would be available to help aged care facilities, on top of defence medical teams.
Council on the Ageing chief executive, Ian Yates, said there had been some hesitance on the part of providers to take up the offer of ADF personnel. “There are things they can do automatically, but they’re not trained to work with very, very frail older people.” “ADF involvement has complemented surge workforce arrangements put in place by the government during the pandemic,” the association’s interim chief executive, Paul Sadler, said. “With the decrease in the number of Covid-19 cases in the community and in residential aged care, there has been less demand for workforce support in recent weeks.”
A further example of the LNP's failed 'khaki charisma' strategy. If you are failing bring in some khaki clad gimps, public will swoon and the utter clusterfu€k they caused will be forgotten! Fail!
