Aged care nightmare must end
The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety’s interim report is a long overdue wake up call that must put an end to the nightmare suffered by many ageing Australians.
Australian Physiotherapy Australia’s National President Phil Calvert said the shocking accounts of harm and neglect detailed in report must spur immediate action.
“The aged care system has been left to its own device for too long,” Phil said. “The Royal Commission’s confronting report sends a clear message – things must change now.”
