ANMF: Will you join us to Demand Dignity in Aged Care?

Will you join us to Demand Dignity in Aged Care?

For years members, residents, the community and families have told us about their aged care concerns,
and their stories.

Now it is time that you tell the Senate committee about your experiences and where improvements must
be made. You can email the Senate Committee Secretary directly and your submission or letter can be completely confidential, name withheld or public.
Just go to one of the links below and follow our tips for sending your story to the Committee.

Keep these points in mind

As a community we are entitled to expect a high standard of quality care for older family members and 

friends - and ourselves, when our time comes.Our elected governments must set and adhere to standards that protect 
all individuals and keep residents of aged care facilities safe.

Tips for writing your story

Explain why you want to speak out on this issue - (a personal experience) or belief.

Describe the impacts of unsafe staffing or poor skill mix. Include examples where possible. 

PLEASE ENSURE YOU USE THE CONFIDENTIAL LINK.

Describe for the Committee your personal experience of aged care, whether as an employee, 

family member or consumer and how this issue affects you.

Describe how you think improvements could be made - and what quality aged care means to you, 

your family and your friends.

If you are a nurse from a hospital setting, outline your own experience caring for people who 

have been transferred from aged care homes.

Let the Committee know if you want to speak to your letter – it is expected that there will be 

public hearings later this year.
