The CEO of Aged and Community Services Australia (ACSA) has urged the Morrison government to address wages in the aged care workforce.
The CEO of Aged and Community Services Australia has urged the Morrison government to address wages in the aged care workforce. Over the next five years the aged care system will undergo a major overhaul in a bid to reform the system with a $17.7 billion spending increase.
The ACSA CEO Patricia Sparrow noted wages had not been addressed by the Coalition in the budget but were another area in aged care in need of reform. “We do obviously need to address wages in aged care," she said. "Our staff do remarkable work. They’re undervalued and underpaid. Last night’s budget didn’t have particular measures around that."

‘Frustrating’ to see government ‘patting itself on the back’ over aged care funding | Sky News AustraliaShadow Aged Care Minister Clare O’Neil says it has been “frustrating” to see the government “patting itself on the back” for increasing aged care funding when it was responsible for “bringing the sector to its knees”.\n\n“They have cut year on year while Scott Morrison was treasurer in fact to the point where today we’ve got an aged care system where two thirds of residents in aged care are malnourished or at risk of being malnourished,” she said.\n\n“These are people who are in the care of the Australian government and they’re literally not getting enough nutrition every day. \n\n“We’ve got a homecare waitlist that’s got 100,000 people on it and tragically in the last two years 26,000 Australians died waiting for the care that they need.\n\n“What I’d love to see tonight is see the government break a habit of a lifetime and just express a little bit of contrition for the fact that they’ve allowed things to get to this point which has caused enormous agony for thousands and thousands of Australian families”. \n\nMs O’Neil told Sky News there was no way the sector can “truly” change until the “staggering” issues facing the aged care workforce are addressed. \n
