Federal government refines aged care policy

The Federal Government has announced it will refine its aged care pledge to have a mandatory nurse in residential nursing homes at all times.

To address this issue, the University of Wollongong has been contracted for six months to develop alternative arrangements for when a nurse is unavailable.
