@k_eagar @AnikaWells @ACCPAAustralia @age_no_barrier @anmf_federal @HSUNational Sadly, not in allied health - things have got worse & depending on the source, minutes per day of allied health in residential aged care are now between 2.85 & 6.36. For comparison, the Royal Commission thought 8 minutes was a disgrace. Watch this space for our new brief soon...

So… this happened last night. Thank you @IAHA_National and the Aus Pharmacy Council for sponsoring the award. Apologies for the f bomb too 💁🏽‍♀️ Same time though, remember who you are and where you come from! Stay sovereign! 🖤

[Gail Mulcair @GailMSpa]

@speechwoman @SpeechPathAus Thanks so much Caroline and others for your best wishes and constant support. I'm so pleased I will still be around for quite a few months yet, so will look forward to lots more contact with everyone across our incredible profession.

Following the Royal Commission on Aged Care, we are strongly supportive of the Allied Health Professions Australia proposal and their project EMBRACE (Exploring Multidisciplinary Block-funded Residential Aged Care Evaluation). #embraceproject @AnikaWells @janet_rice
