The Final Report of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, and the recommendations made in it, was tabled in Parliament today.
The Royal Commissioners said:
“The extent of substandard care in Australia’s aged care system reflects both poor quality on the part of some aged care providers and fundamental systemic flaws with the way the Australian aged care system is designed and governed. People receiving aged care deserve better. The Australian community is entitled to expect better.”
In conclusion of this investigation, the Royal Commissioners make 148 wide-ranging recommendations.
