International Nurses Day - Ratios for Aged Care Campaign Launch

Start: Saturday, May 12, 201811:00 AM

End: Saturday, May 12, 2018 1:00 PM

This International Nurses Day, support aged care workers in a national day of action to
make aged care ratios law, NOW.

Nurses and care staff do the best they can in impossible circumstances, but they can’t
provide the care they want to.

Last year, owners of Aged Care facilities made over $1billion in profits while cutting staff.
Australia has strict staff ratios for childcare, but there are no ratios for aged care and no
laws to ensure our elderly get the care they need.

It’s a crisis that shames us. Our Aged Care system has been ignored by governments for
far too long. This International Nurses Day, get the government to take action.

Join us for a BBQ lunch, entertainment and activities for the kids.

Friends, family and colleagues are all welcome.

There will be a free shuttle bus running to/from Parramatta station for attendees. It will be picking people up from the coach parking bay on Fitzwilliam Street.
