So where do we start? What is actually the biggest issue facing aged care in this state?
We - the providers - can tell you our problems until we're blue in the face; and we do.... but unless these issues share the same priority in the general publics' eyes we're really wasting our breath.
So, with the desired end point being a revised system for aged care in Australia - where do we start? What are the most important issues - to YOU - that we need to be addressing now (or indeed, last week/year/decade)?
Please contribute to the Poll - to the right of this blog post - and we can begin the process together!
This issue is really important to everyone; we'll all be old one day and we cannot ignore the current situation of underfunding by the Government which in turn leads to low wages and a lack of quality staff. In the meantime, we may already have friends and relatives in care and we need to stand up for them and give them a voice.
