VISIT AGED CARE WATCH
Aged Care Watch is UWU's crowd-sourced online tracking tool empowering aged care workers, residents and their families to shine a light on the staffing and workload issues impacting the quality of aged care across Australia.
Anonymously report understaffing and care time issues at your facility now.
is your employer playing fair on care time minutes?
To meet the new mandated 200 care minutes a day, many facilities are making changes to rosters, duties, job roles and the creation of new jobs.
Your employer SHOULD NOT use tricks like changing job titles or giving you extra duties to lift care minutes.
Hold your employer accountable!
