Aged Care Funding Announced

Aged Care Association Australia (ACAA) recently welcomed the announcement by Hon Justine Elliot, Minister for Ageing, of a $43.8 million injection of funds for education and training for aged care and community care staff. ACAA CEO, Rod Young, said, ‘though this funding is indeed welcome, we still need to maintain staff through competitive wages and conditions or they will continue to move out of the aged care industry’.
