Happy new year to all of you from Aged Care Physiotherapy Pty Ltd

It was February 2016, when we all learned about Oakden ACF in SA and the beginning of uncovering of chronic neglect and abuse in aged care.

In September 2018, ABC Four Corners broadcasted an investigation into aged care and related abuse and neglect. That prompted Scott Morrison to announce Royal Commission into Aged Care.

October 2018, Royal Commission into Aged Care was appointed to make a public inquiry. Over 10,000 submissions and 600+witnesses and about 2.5 years later a final report with 148 recommendations was submitted.

The final report consisted of about 57 references to the importance of a robust allied health services in aged care. With many specific recommendations.

We quote some of those below:

"Mobility is closely linked with people’s health and their quality of life. However, we heard numerous examples of aged care providers not supporting people to maintain and improve their mobility—including limited access to allied health professionals critical to promoting
mobility, such as physiotherapists. Poor mobility increases the risk of falls and fall-related injuries due to deconditioning and reduced muscle strength."

"With some notable exceptions, Commissioner Briggs observes that providers have demonstrated little curiosity or ambition for care improvement, and have not
prioritised enablement and allied health care."

"Reablement and rehabilitation need to be a central focus of aged care."

"Throughout our inquiry, many witnesses described the crucial role of allied health in maintaining mobility and functionality and providing restorative care in response to acute
events. We also learned that many people receiving aged care services do not have sufficient access to allied health services."

" We recommend that the benefits of allied health services should be considered in an assessment of a person’s aged care needs, and that the person’s aged care entitlement
should adequately reflect those needs."

"For residential care, we recommend that the System Governor should ensure providers provide allied health care in accordance with each older person’s individual care plan, and should monitor the level of allied health services that are actually delivered. Allied health should become an intrinsic part of residential care."

Late 2021, Labor declares aged care reforms as their priority. May 2022, Labor forms Government in Canberra and continue to make aged care as priority. Aug 2022 first Bill that passes the parliament is an aged care reform bill.

The bill had nothing about allied health in the reforms.

What went wrong?

Are we missing something here? 6 years of the aged care journey has missed the point.

Don't just work. Make a career.

We are aware of the incidents where our number 03 9014 9734 is being used to make some unsolicited calls. We want to assure general public that no such calls are made from our offices. It is probably a case of number spoofing. We have raised it with telecom provider and they are investigating the issue.
You can safely ignore such calls.

UPDATE 21/04/2022
After too much back and forth with the telco provider and to prevent the number from being used for unsolicited calls we have decided to let go of the 'hacked' number. We now only have one office number which is 03 9015 4333. Hopefully, this number stays safe :)
