Because you cared, you joined us in asking the Government to properly fund aged care services in New Zealand and support the campaign to achieve:
- Compulsory safe staffing levels and skill mix so that every resident gets the care they need, when they need it
- Fair pay and conditions for aged care workers so that their work is respected and paid the same as health workers in public hospitals
- One nationally recognised training and education programme for all aged care staff
- A guarantee that government funding is only used for nursing and personal care of residents
