In 2018, then prime minister Scott Morrison announced a royal commission into aged care, shedding light on the astonishing prevalence of abuse in residential facilities. It’s been three years since its final report was handed down and advocates say very little has improved. The commission highlighted just how difficult accountability and justice can be to achieve after someone in care is harmed. Especially when the abuse is at the hands of those in charge of the nursing homes and home care services. The federal government is attempting to remedy this with new laws that could see directors and management jailed in particularly egregious cases. Today, poet and aged care advocate Sarah Holland-Batt on whether the government's new laws will be enough to turn around the disaster that is our aged care system.
