It’s time to make sure our politicians prioritise aged care.
The Government has been too slow to act for aged care.
It’s been over 10 months and counting since the Royal Commission handed down its final report, and there is still chronic understaffing, no staff ratios, no laws for an RN 24/7, and no transparency or accountability of funding.
Help us put pressure on the politicians and demand aged care reform this election. It’s not too much to ask.
New Bill for at least one RN on site introduced into the Senate by Senator Patrick of South Australia. Send a message to Senator Patrick thanking him for introducing the RN 24/7 Bill.

Pain relief when it's needed – it’s not too much to ask.
The Royal Commission into aged care found that there are not enough nurses to administer pain relief when our loved ones need it the most. Ask the Morrison Government to mandate staff ratio laws. Watch our campaign video and share it on social media.
A little mealtime assistance – it’s not too much to ask.
The Royal Commission into aged care found that staff shortages left 68 percent of residents malnourished or at risk of malnourishment. Ask the Morrison Government to mandate staff ratio laws. Share our campaign video on social media.
