I don't know how any human being can read this and not be outraged! When is the Government going to stop passing the buck & act to stop this abuse. It appears to be accepted by Health Care Staff & Government Departments that this is happening everywhere. Well then...we as citizens of Australia must demand that the Government does something pro-active to stop these cowardly,disgusting people from being employed in positions of trust. Obviously Aged Care attracts these cowards because the elderly are easy targets. Even when they speak up they are not listened to & fobbed off as having dementia & not knowing what they are saying. Well..truth be known...there is always an element of truth in what a person with dementia alleges. Makes me wonder what use the Government really is when they can't enforce simple human decency. They even admit that most of their departments are 'toothless tigers'.
ReplyDeletewhy is this not on the front page of The Australian so that the whole country can be made aware of the demise facing our elderly?

SING suggests that if Public Interest Whistleblowers and credible, caring staff who speak out continue to be sacked and vilified by those in power, only the abusers will be left to flourish.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it not front page:
ReplyDeleteUnions support these thugs in aged care ( more often than not the thugs are union reps and or delegates ). The combination of union protection and management cover up is a force to be reconed with when a staff member or family speak out. The killing fields in aged care will continue for as long as the operators place the dollar before care. Care hours are reduced for profit and skills knowledge and attitude are not even considered.With the shortages of carers in the aged care workforce the focus is to fill the roster to do the task.Those who have integritity and a conscience are bullied out and labled as trouble makers in the industry.
These thugs of which there are many at all levels thive on the thrill of power they have with the elderly. The is no protection for the victims.
Excuse me to the above comment. What the hell do you know? I am a union delegate because i sadly thought that i could make a difference. The thugs in this industry thrive while the weak are scared and suck up to keep there jobs. No one bothered to stand up to other work colleagues. Why? They were scared to speak out.
ReplyDeleteIn a perfect world i would hope that my work colleage would help me out instead of turning a blind eye.
If you suck up enough you will get an admin job. Good luck.
