To help change that, an additional $10 a day per resident will now be provided to residential aged care facilities from July 1 — but it'll come with conditions.
Mr Yates says some providers already spend a lot of money on food and make it a great experience for residents so they might choose to spend the $10 elsewhere."It's about the presentation of the food. It's about: Is this food something you feel good about?" Mr Yates says. Health Minister Greg Hunt promises this will be enough to clear the waitlist, and many in the sector agree.
18 billion dollar package age care so let’s do the figures, service providers take 20 to 25% of the the spend for administrative costs 4.5 billlion, not a bad day at the office and who runs these organisations? you guessed it the big end of town!
Interesting the bed licence system will be abolished. Last trading at about $60k per bed, now worthless. Does that mean all RAC facilities are now classified as SRS? Leaves the door open for anyone to role up and open a facility without proper scrutiny.
Not enough. RC said $10 billion per year needed. Scomo's $17.7 over 5 years 35% of what's required? Staff are leaving the sector to be better paid in supermarkets and petrol stations. That's how much Scomo values thier work. Good care or cheap care Australia? time to choose.
Pretty much exactly what it looks like now. Although the CEO might have a nice new car for you to look at out the window..
Same as before without nurse staffing & care ratios alongside independent forensic accountants looking at aged care providers books annually. The End.
people new to council home help in our area get a total of 15 MINUTES a week!!
Absolutely no different unless they get rid of privately run aged care
More Ca$h. What could possibly go wrong...... ANSWER: Don't privatize! Corruption abounds.
Until I see real change - it does not matter what Scummo 'says' they will do.
Scary and I’d prefer death!
Not much better.

Aged care investment welcomed but there needs to be ‘commitment to transparency’ | Sky News AustraliaOlder Persons Advocacy Network Chief Executive Craig Gear has told Sky News the Morrison government’s multi-billion-dollar boost to aged care is pleasing but there needs to be a “commitment to transparency”.\n\nThe Morrison government is expected to deliver a massive boost in funding for the aged and childcare sectors in the upcoming budget on Tuesday night.\n\nThe government will unveil a $17.7 billion cash injection for the aged care industry across four years, while also providing a full response to the recent Aged Care Royal Commission recommendations.\n\n“It’s pleasing that there’s been significant commitment to investment but there needs to be commitment to transparency as well.”\n Any additional funding better NOT go to the pockets of aged care owners for their third Lamborghini & their fourth beach house in Byron Bay. Mandate funding MUST BE SPENT ON OUR FAMILY MEMBERS IN AGED CARE!. ScottMorrisonMP JoshFrydenberg AlboMP JEChalmers RichardMarlesMP Whatever they do it'll be like putting a band aid on a cracked plastic wall with just enough funding to attempt to get themselves re-elected The word 'commitment' isn't factored into Budget2021 at all. 'Announceables', 'lies', 'pork barrel', 'saying whatever they can to buy the election' ... THOSE words best describe it. 'Commitment?' None of that in there ...

Aged care workers are some of the ‘lowest paid’ people in the economy | Sky News AustraliaShadow Aged Care Minister Clare O’Neil says the federal government needs to address the “fundamental issues” facing how aged care workers are valued if they want to see real reform of the sector. \n\n“We’ve got an aging population and the productivity commission has told us that we’re going to have to move from what are roughly 300,000 people working in aged care today to a million by 2050,” she said.\n\n“So somehow we’re going to have to grow this sector by 700,000 people over the next 30 years - we’re not going to be able to do that when these are some of the lowest paid people in the economy.\n\n“You can literally earn more stacking shelves in a supermarket today than you can caring for someone with very complex health needs who’s in a very vulnerable state in an aged care home”. \n ClareONeilMP LNP Aged Care 🤦🏻♂️

Federal budget: The winners and losersMore than 10 million people will get tax relief of up to $1080, while tourism, future generations and the environment are the big losers in the federal budget. Read more here: For a govt whose leader says social media is evil they are doing a lot of tweeting tonight. This breakdown is NOT correct 👎👎👎 Move ‘women’ from left to right column.
