Aged Care in the Community – Making Change Happen

Nurses have been calling for change and are finally being heard. The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality & Safety Final Report endorsed a ‘rights-based approach’, placing the needs and preferences of the older person at the centre of the aged care system. The Australian College of Nursing advocates for effective and rights-based aged care reform include the expansion of evidence-based in-home care to ensure older people are supported and cared for in their own homes for as long as possible, no matter where they live. Nurses play a critical role in hospital and residential care avoidance through expert assessment, health promotion, care planning and ongoing monitoring. Come and hear from colleagues who are specialists in their fields, gain current and relevant insights, and share your experiences and thoughts in real time.
