If aged care needed an event to highlight the myriad shortcomings outlined extensively during the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, COVID-19 was it.
One year after the Commission’s final report titled Care, Dignity and Respect was handed to the government, the pandemic continues to emphasize the workforce supply crisis, ongoing concerns about regulation and quality oversight, and unsustainable funding models.
The 2022 Federal Election campaign has directed an extra spotlight on the much-needed aged care system reforms. So far promises have been made to address ways to: increase the workforce; increase funding transparency; introduce a dedicated Aged Care Complaints Commissioner and be able to apply civil penalties for any aged care provider who punishes residents, families or workers that complain.
Against this backdrop, it’s worth revisiting the Royal Commission’s main findings.
