John,

I was appalled when I read the stories of neglect and mistreatment in the aged care royal commission’s interim report.

The report found that aged care in Australia is a “shocking tale of neglect” and that it “diminishes Australia as a nation”. 

There’s not one part of Australia’s aged care system that isn’t impacted by crisis.  

That’s why Labor’s calling on the Morrison Liberal Government to urgently fix the broken aged care system.

Here are three things the Royal Commission says the Morrison Liberal Government needs to do right now: 

1. Ensure older Australians are getting the care at home when they need it most.
2. End the over-reliance of chemical restraints in aged care.
3. Stop the unacceptable number of young people entering residential aged care. 

So can you sign our petition calling on the Morrison Liberal Government to fix Australia’s aged care system?

I'll sign the petition to fix aged care

Older Australians and their loved ones cannot wait until the final report of the Royal Commission, which is handed down in November 2020, for action on aged care.

The Liberals have been asleep at the wheel for six years, with four Ministers and billions ripped out while Australia’s aged care system has lurched from one crisis to another. 

It’s time to act now on aged care – for our loved ones who built this country and for every Australian who wants to age with dignity and autonomy with care.

So please, sign our petition and help us get the Morrison Liberal Government to fix Australia’s aged care system.

I hope we can count on your support,

Julie Collins
Shadow Minister for Ageing and Seniors
