First Nations aged care commissioner and culturally safe care direction
The Government released its response to the Interim First Nations Aged Care Commissioner's report and introduced a Bill proposing a permanent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care Commissioner. The immediate CaresLink document angle is communication clarity, family or representative records, and internal briefing ownership.
