To improve profitability in residential aged care and encourage the development of new beds, Regis Chair Graham Hodges has proposed a doubling of the RAD retention rate and an immediate $10 increase in the accommodation supplement.
"I'm imagining within a few months we'll have a very large number of people who will have said 'no' to services because of the cost."
“The current residential aged care model is not financially sustainable”
“Taking three years to implement a reform that could be commenced tomorrow is a slap in the face for older Australians.”
