Thank you for supporting our petition to stop excessive COVID-19 precautions from harming the elderly. 

I recently was interviewed in a Sydney Morning Herald and Hello Care article that highlights the negative impact these measures have on the mental and emotional well-being of aged care residents. 

Now I need your support more than ever. Please contact the new NSW Health Minister Ryan Park to push for a balanced approach to managing COVID-19 precautions. You can use the template drafted below:

Subject: Revisiting COVID-19 Precautions for Elderly Residents in NSW Aged Care Facilities

Dear Minister Ryan Park, 

I am writing to request a review of the stringent COVID-19 precautions in NSW aged care facilities. Current measures, such as extended room confinement, negatively impact the cognitive, physical, and psychological health of elderly residents.

Our elderly may not have the means to advocate for change, making it our responsibility to ensure their well-being. I signed a petition on Change.org, which now has nearly 8,000 signatures, supporting this cause: https://www.change.org/p/stop-over-the-top-covid-precautions-from-killing-our-elderly

Please consider more balanced, evidence-based measures that protect our elderly population's dignity and overall health. I look forward to your response and the actions you plan to take to address this urgent issue.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]
