We’re urging the @AlboMP Government not to allow aged care providers to ‘game’ the system – and use #Budget23 to set the rules and introduce accountability for a massive amount of public money meant for wages. MEDIA RELEASE: bit.ly/3p24co9 @AnikaWells @Mark_Butler_MP

Great work! 💪 @Backhous5Rachel @AllyWongRN
The ANMF ACT would like to particularly thank and acknowledge our ACT members, Rachel Backhouse and Alison Wong for their time and dedication in advocating.

The ‘Secure Jobs, Better Pay Bill’ is critical in giving nurses and aged care workers access to a collective bargaining system which allows for much-needed wage-growth, improved conditions and increased gender equity across workplaces. bit.ly/3DEnbdb
“It gives me hope that reform can happen. We need to make the sector attractive enough to get workers." says aged care registered nurse Glen Driscoll. Thankyou to all ANMF members, #agedcare residents, their families & communities who have fought for reform. #itsnotoomuch
We're putting nurses back into nursing homes!
📢 MILESTONE FOR AGED CARE! This Bill puts nurses back into nursing homes by ensuring people living in residential care will have access to a nurse 24/7 - wherever they live. It will also bring transparency back to aged care through improved public reporting.
Major aged care bill passed today which legislates: - requirement of a registered nurse onsite & on duty 24/7 at nursing homes; - capping of prices home care providers can charge care recipients, and prohibition of exit charges; - public reporting on provider performance #auspol
The Aged Care Amendment (Implementing Care Reform) Bill 2022 has passed the #Senate without amendments bit.ly/3W3te2j
BREAKING: The Greens have just voted to pass a bill to ensure aged care homes are staffed 24/7 with a nurse. Thankyou to @anmf_federal, Older Persons Advocacy Network, @COTAAustralia and all the others who campaigned - without your advocacy, this wouldn't have happened.
“We are delighted that this bill will pass today and for the first time in Australia, all nursing homes will be required to have a registered nurse onsite 24/7. We congratulate the @AlboMP Albanese Government and Minister @AnikaWells” ANMF Federal Secretary Annie Butler 1/🧵
It’s finally official! After years of campaigning, ANMF members say thank you @AnikaWells @Mark_Butler_MP and the @AlboMP govt for making RN 24/7 law in every Australian nursing home. The first step to ensuring quality care for older Australians
Ok so the ACT Government knows the drivers and causes of poverty in Canberra but not the drivers and causes of homelessness??
"It's incredible to think that, an aged care worker pays a higher rate of income tax than one of the largest companies in the world." ab.co/3RVuv8q We need policies to close these loopholes, especially if companies are profiting from Government contracts.
Lockdowns happened all over the world as we globally had to defend against a new killer virus. 3.3 Million global deaths from COVID-19 in the first year. Nurses, midwives and healthcare workers were on the frontline and this is what they experienced.
