@k_eagar @AnikaWells @ACCPAAustralia @age_no_barrier @anmf_federal @HSUNational Sadly, not in allied health - things have got worse & depending on the source, minutes per day of allied health in residential aged care are now between 2.85 & 6.36. For comparison, the Royal Commission thought 8 minutes was a disgrace. Watch this space for our new brief soon...
