UWU Aged Care workers will vote to take protected strike action to #ChangeAgedCare and fix the #AgedCareCrisis Thanks to everyone who joined us today. https://t.co/yPCm8xoDxs

“We have to strip away the excuses for inaction. We’ve had a royal commission. There’s no shortage of money – we can afford tax cuts. The possibility to fix it exists, it is only the desire that is lacking.” @RDNS_TAI at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. https://t.co/yPCm8xoDxs

“We deserve to know how decisions are being made and where the money is going.” – Professor Joseph Ibrahim @ProfJoeonline at today’s @UnitedWorkersOz #agedcarecrisis forum. Take action: https://t.co/yPCm8xoDxs

“Nothing would create more jobs than money spent on aged care. All of the arguments for spending money on other things apply to spending on aged care. It’s just that this government does not prioritise it.” – Richard Denniss @RDNS_TAI at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. @AusUnions

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

“We have to talk about the low wages of aged care workers and what a 25% pay increase actually represents in dollars. $29 an hour is still not a lot for these highly skilled workers.”
@Lloyd_W_ from @HSUNational at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. https://t.co/NuDbGU93Ea

“Australians recognise that aged care work is important. They overwhelmingly also agree that aged care is understaffed, undervalued and aged care work is poorly paid.”– Lloyd Williams, @HSUNational at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. https://t.co/NuDbGU8vOC #changeagedcare

Aged care academic Professor Joseph Ibrahim says the neglect of aged care is deliberate. “The change has to come from us and everyone around us and keeping the pressure on every government.”

What does it say about us as a nation that our Gov refuses, even after RC, to make sure our Elders get the care & dignity they deserve? After they spent their lives building this country. Disgraceful! @ScottMorrisonMP @richardmcolbeck #agedcarecrisis #changeagedcare

“You know why they’re not spending money on aged care? Because they don’t want to. It is as simple as that.” – Richard Denniss @RDNS_TAI at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. Take action: https://t.co/yPCm8xoDxs @RichardmColbeck @ScottMorrisonMP @AusUnions

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

“We’re looking aged care workers in the eye and saying “we can’t afford to do that.” When you hear a politician say we can’t afford it, decode “can’t afford” as “don’t want to”. It is that simple.” – Richard Denniss @RDNS_TAI at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. @AusUnions

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

“We’re not respecting the skillset that’s needed. The providers are not aligned to the workers and are not aligned with the regulator, nor the government.” – Prof Joseph Ibrahim @ProfJoeonline at today’s #agedcarecrisis forum. Take action: https://t.co/yPCm8xoDxs @AusUnions

"Australia can afford to do anything it wants, but not everything it wants." We say time to prioritise Aged Care and pay workers properly. Nothing would create more jobs than spending money on Aged Care. @RDNS_TAI at #AgedCareCrisis seminar with workers to #ChangeAgedCare

[Kimberley Rowney @KimRowney]

Hey
@richardmcolbeck @ScottMorrisonMP It's time you fix the #agedcarecrisis! 75 per cent of aged care workers say they want to leave the sector.

[Gwen Amankwah-Toa @gwen_toa]

Hey @richardmcolbeck,@ScottMorrisonMP Workers in Aged Care have been disrespected for far too long. It’s time you fix this problem! #AgedCareCrisis #ChangeAgedCare @AgedCareWatch @UnitedWorkersOz
