Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect especially those who have worked hard all their lives. If we are lucky enough, it is a time of life we will all experience.

Respect and dignity for our elderly is a basic human right and shows our next generation what we value.

We need better care for our aging population. Definite minimum ratios of staff to patients is only a start. We need better standards for all aged care needs.

The reality of the care provided needs to match the picture portrayed in the information brochures. The vulnerable deserve the very best care and it is up to society as a whole to ensure that this is the case. There are too many examples of failures within the system. We can and should do much better.

Aged care ratios need to happen too many times are staff (Persoanal carers and nurses) injured due to running off their feet trying to get work done asap just to keep "management" happy so statistics look good

Please put the CARE back into aged care. I need to go in every day & give my partner basic care as there is not enough staff to cover her high needs & safety. She is totally blind & has dementia. She is so vunerable it breaks my heart to witness the lack of care & supervision. So I just do it myself. The government should be ashamed at the way our most vunerable citizens are being treated. This is not a complaint about staff but the ratio of staff to residents. It's appalling & totally unacceptable!

More fully trained RN' S needed each shift. And carers need better supervision and training. Increase carer resident ratio please.

Trained aged care caring staff is a critical factor in quality care. Adequate diet and incontinence care should also be a priority to maintain respect, dignity and nutrition.

Aged care in Australia, especially the private sector needs urgent intervention to ensure a reasonable amount of staff to rt ratio . This is the least that our elders deserve.

Ratios save lives.
Why should aged care be any different to any other nursing sector.
Nursing is nursing!
Whether it be mental health, surgical,aged care, private or public.
A single person is only capable of providing safe and competent care to a limited number of people before care is compromised.
When corporations are so focused on budgets and saving money safety goes out the window but the responsibility still remains with the nurse. Is it any wonder nurses don't stay in aged care.

Please as an aged care nurse for 25 years the nurse/resident ratio is disgusting. Nurses are over worked, suffering injuries and residents are paying good money into their aged care facility and they scream out for more/better care staff.
