We are an independent group of Australian citizens, who are deeply concerned at the provision of aged care in Australia, specifically the delivery of quality care for our elderly and frail citizens, including those who are residents of aged care facilities.

• We do not receive any funding
• We are not affiliated with any government body

www.agedcarecrisis.com provides a voice for elderly and frail citizens in Australia

Barely a day goes by that we don’t hear another shameful story of sub-standard care to our elderly citizens in hospital and nursing home care.

Whilst our politicians and bureaucrats argue, pass the buck, or indulge in taxpayer’s funded Reviews, Audits, Assessments, Committees and Senate Inquiries, who is speaking up for our elderly Australians who are largely suffering in silence?

www.agedcarecrisis.com supports people who may have concerns with the aged care system, and has been created by consumers, for consumers.

What do we hope to achieve?

"Delivery of best practice and quality care to our elderly and frail citizens including being treated humanely, with respect, and with dignity, who find themselves within the Australian Aged Care System."

Because we believe that our elderly citizens deserve to be treated humanely and with dignity.

They deserve it.  And so will you.

Your Stories: "Have Your Say"

Stories about your experience, strength, hope, and words of wisdom, may be exactly what someone else may need to read in order to assist them through the maze of aged care related issues. We believe it is important that people understand what is really going on, and so do people who write to us.

We publish stories anonymously if requested.

"There is a lot of talk about aged care issues, but no medium where 'real people' can discuss or read about 'real issues' that they may have regarding aged care issues."

www.agedcarecrisis.com:

• is a place for all who share our concerns to speak out for the elderly who may be too frail, or ill to speak out for themselves;
• is a place for those who may be too scared to speak out for themselves, for fear of retribution;
• is a place to seek change, to demand action, to let our government know: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH;
• will be a meeting place, a place to share stories of pain and loss, a place for healing - as well as a source of vital information, to ensure the errors of the past are not repeated.
• Advocacy and support;
• Links to other support services and expertise

Ageing disgracefully should not happen to anyone’s mother, father, or relative.
