The Royal Commission into Aged Care has handed down it's COVID -19 report with 4 key areas that need attention, and a recommendation that the Government report to Parliament no later than 1st December 2020 on the progress of their implementation.
Unsurprisingly, the 4 key areas are:

• Funding -to ensure there are adequate staff available to deal with increased work loads as a result of the pandemic
• Addressing the mental health of residents
• A National Aged Care Covid 19 plan and the establishment of a national advisory body, and lastly,
• All providers to appoint infection control officers and deploy infection control experts in their facilities

It will be interesting to see how Aged Care is addressed in tonight's Budget
