The CCOA will be commencing the inquiry for Australian Aged Care on the 21/04/2010. After rocking the boat for 8 months, the Australian government went ahead with the decision to have a commission.
By April 2011 we will be having a time table of the government plan that CCOA will be conducting. While Rudd government’s trying to keep its promises, the ageing population still awaits on getting the best possible facilities and treatments.
However fragile, the aged care system is still workable, and while an apathetic population simply shrug and automatically rattle off a list of generic ant government slogans, I was busy trying to find a solution.
After roaming through the web for best places to get services, The Home of Aged Care has a list of products, services and ideas which came in handy.
It’s amazing that privately owned websites such as these provide a much better service than Government sites; government funded propaganda about the future of the health service is one thing, but that’s not what I want.
I want a list of the best facilities.
I want to know where I’ll be getting my value for money, and more importantly, I want to know what aged care options are available in my area.
I don’t want to be another number, helplessly clutching a ticket like I’m ordering meat in a deli, all the while standing in a Medicare cue that stretches out towards the horizon.
Privately owned websites such as AgedCare.com.au can be a starting point for all of my aged care needs; surely it is better that I am able to be put in direct contact with Aged Care facilities directly without having to trawl through acres of government misinformation.
My only hope is that by the end of 2011 we will not only have a better aged care system, but the government will have taken on board the whole range of commercial aspects that are offered to us by privately owned websites such as AgedCare.
But how accurate is this inquiry going to be? Is it going to be another disaster like the Insulation rebate?
