In response to the serious concerns, the Department of Health and Ageing has enforced a number of measures to immediately address resident care, including:
Minister Elliot said: “When aged care providers fail to meet their responsibilities the Government will act to protect our frail and elderly citizens. “This Government is committed to continuing to work in partnership with older Australians, their families, staff, unions and providers to improve the quality of aged care in Australia. “The Rudd Government is committed to improving the care and quality of Australia’s nursing homes and its residents,” Minister Elliot said. The majority of residential aged care services provide high quality care to their residents with sanctions currently in place on seven of Australia’s nearly 3,000 aged care homes. Anyone with concerns about the care or welfare of residents in an aged care facility should immediately contact the Aged Care Complaints Investigation Scheme on 1800 550 552.
