Join thousands of fellow aged care workers across Australia who have had enough and take action to change aged care now!
The aged care system is in crisis. You experience it on a daily basis. You work incredibly hard to care for older Australians despite the poor pay, under-staffing, heavy workloads and job insecurity.
Thousands of aged care workers across Australia are facing these issues every day and are fed up!
The Aged Care Royal Commission and the Budget did not provide the recommendations and funding required for urgent systematic change, so it’s time to take matters into our own hands – it’s time to stand together and fight until we get it.
Let’s make some noise!
We’re demanding the Federal Government to take responsibility for having failed older Australians, their families and aged care workers like you.
Join your fellow aged care workers across the nation in taking the fight online. Whether we’re emailing, texting or calling key decision-makers – we’re demanding change and won’t be ignored!
Your individual support is key to our collective impact – united we are strong and will create lasting change for aged care.
