Again we are hearing of the neglect of residents in aged care, this time it’s because staff are sick with covid and have to have time off leaving residents without the basic care they need.

Prior to the pandemic many residents missed out on basic care because of insufficient staffing numbers, now chuck in a pandemic and residents are truly in serious danger.

If skilled staff ratios had been put in place residents may have been saved this further neglect.

It’s time the Morrison Government listened to its constituents and did the right thing to protect our elderly in residential aged care, not just while there’s a pandemic but for all time.

Please share the petition.
