This enhancement is designed to aid all residential aged-care education providers in handling outbreaks. Additionally, a flow workforce will endure to assist aged care homes precious by outbreaks.
Residential aged care, Multi-Purpose Service (MPS), and National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care (NATSIFAC) providers are set to receive roughly $940 per resident in 2024 under the current provisions. These measures are revealing of the government’s continuing promise to support the aged care sector in dealing with COVID-19.
