Sadly, not in allied health - things have got worse & depending on the source, minutes per day of allied health in residential aged care are now between 2.85 & 6.36. For comparison, the Royal Commission thought 8 minutes was a disgrace. Watch this space for our new brief soon...

Following the Royal Commission on Aged Care, we are strongly supportive of the Allied Health Professions Australia proposal and their project EMBRACE (Exploring Multidisciplinary Block-funded Residential Aged Care Evaluation). #embraceproject @AnikaWells @janet_rice
What is the #embraceproject ? It's about wrapping the aged care system around the older people we love. It's about reablement, not just basic needs. Isn't this what human rights in aged care should be? @abcnews @AnikaWells @janet_rice ahpa.com.au/advocacy/ahpa-pr…
#SPweek2022 celebrates the vital work of speech pathologists in supporting the more than 1.2million Australians with communication disability. ‘Good Communications, Better Communities’ showcases the importance of communication, connections, and community. #SLPeeps @SpeechPathAus
