From Rationing to Rights: Creating a Universal Entitlement to Aged Care

This article presents an argument for creating a universal entitlement to aged care. Following the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, significant reform of Australia's aged care system is needed. The current policy of rationing care must end, because it leaves too many older Australians without the level of care they need. It should be replaced with an aged care system that is underpinned by an objective to support the rights of older Australians, including their right to independently assessed, government funded, reasonable and necessary needs-based care. This more equitable approach will require a massive boost in government spending to ensure all older Australians get the care and support they need, when they need it.

从配给到权利:创造普遍的老年护理权利

本文提出了一项关于建立普遍享有老年护理的权利的论据。继皇家老年护理质量和安全委员会之后,需要对澳大利亚的老年护理系统进行重大改革。当前的定量护理政策必须结束,因为它让太多的澳大利亚老年人得不到他们所需的护理水平。它应该被一个以支持澳大利亚老年人权利为目标的老年护理系统所取代,包括他们获得独立评估、政府资助、合理和必要的基于需求的护理的权利。这种更公平的方法将需要大量增加政府支出,以确保所有澳大利亚老年人在需要时获得所需的护理和支持。
