The #Greens have today launched our human rights based approach to Aged Care including 50,000 home care packages and a pay rise for aged care workers bit.ly/CaringforOlder… #auspol #agedcare #AgedCareRC
It's been clear for years now that there are significant issues within the aged care sector and for too long aged care has been put in the too hard basket. We can’t keep tinkering around the edges. We need a comprehensive plan for how we are going to care for older Australians.
Our plan: 1. Guarantees a human rights based approach to aged care 2. Provides funding for an additional 50,000 Level 3 and 4 Home Care Packages over three years at a cost of $5.491billion
3. Commits $3 billion to: Increase hours of care provided to each resident to 4 hours & 18 minutes per day; Require staff to resident ratios that ensure an adequate level of care including a minimum of one registered nurse rostered 24/7; Increase pay for aged care workers by 15%
4. End the use of chemical and physical restraints in aged care facilities
