Its Time to Care About Aged Care
Reforming Aged Care
Benetas is joining the call to demand that long overdue reforms follow the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety later this month. A new campaign ‘It’s Time to Care About Aged Care’ from the newly formed Australian Aged Care Collaboration (AACC) alliance, of 1000 providers (including Benetas), seeks to encourage the national Parliament to address the sector’s many challenges. Download the full report.
Please show your support for the campaign and sign the petition calling on your local federal Member of Parliament to take action.
