ACCPA welcomes the Fair Work Commission's decision to put more money in the pockets of low-paid workers but is concerned that inadequate indexation of Commonwealth funding means it will be impossible to realise improvements in quality of care. > bit.ly/3b1Cv7N #agedcare

One year ago the Government pledged a $17.7b aged care package after the Aged Care Royal Commission. But aged care continues is still underfunded & under-resourced. This election is an opportunity to #CareAboutAgedCare and transform the system into one that works for all.

While Labor's announcement of extra #agedcare #funding still falls short, it's a step forward. We are now calling on all political parties to match or improve it. Aged care shouldn't be a party political issue. See our media release: bit.ly/3NCz0Uj

There is nothing in #Budget2022 to improve aged care wages, leaving our dedicated workers on the edge of poverty & many older Australians without the services they need. The Royal Commission’s workforce recommendations are the key area of unfinished business. #CareAboutAgedCare
