The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) applauds two significant achievements to rebuild the aged care sector, which will come into effect on 1 July 2023. Legislation to implement Registered Nurse (RN) 24/7 comes into operation and historic wage increases following the Aged Care Work Value decision will start to flow through to nurses and carers in the sector.
These critical measures will go a long way in rebuilding the aged care sector and will help deliver improved care outcomes for elderly residents living in nursing homes.
