I don't know how bad it is now.
My recent visits to #Australia n #AgedCareFacilities have shown a lot of floor staff doing little. Is good.

However it looked fine, before the RC, to me until I discovered my dad was being treated worse than a dog.

It is pretty much the same exploitative companies and managers running things now.
They are highly skilled in cover-ups, manipulation and letting abuse and neglect continue in pursuit of profits.

But, as you say, nothing is perfect.

If any profession includes so many ethically flexible people that it can allow decades of inhumane care to roll on to the financial benefit of #CommercialisedAgedCare companies then your profession stinks.
This applies to the medics who work in #AgedCareFacilities as well.

Doctors and nurses, especially doctors, have powerful industry bodies with significant political clout and large media profile.

#Webforms are often used by organisations as the initial step in getting problems reported.

This is part of the #ComplaintProcess, and #DisputeResolutionProcess. And are a #Governance matter.

And yet repeatedly I send the webform back to organisations with obligations around #Safety, such as #AgedCareFacilities and #LocalGovernment, and they don't send a copy of what they have received back to me.

How long have webforms been misused like this?
The internet seems to have muddled minds.

Governmental failure of #AustralianAgedCare is AIUI far wider than the long term ignoring the problem and letting it be covered up by aged care quality commissions that successive federal governments engaged in.

#AgedCareFacilities fall under the control of state governments.
While the funding is federal it is state law that applies to things like abuse, assault, neglect, endangerment of human life.

The states and territories too had obligations to protect.

In the last week I have met 2 folk visiting separate #AgedCareFacilities in #Perth #WesternAustralia.
Covid infections in both.

#InfectionControl procedures in #Australia's #AgedCareIndustry look to be still inadequate, still failing the nation's frail aged.

#Failure over decades by #MedicalScience to pay due heed to studies showing many diseases are in fact spread in #Aerosol form, are #Airborne, has been a major factor, if not the major factor, in the number of Covid deaths and injuries.
