Thank you for working in Aged Care Day

Today (Sept 12) is “Thank you for working in Aged Care Day”. In the Shortland electorate we have 40,000 people over the age of sixty with thousands living in local aged care facilities. The workers who work in these facilities do their best to provide these Seniors a dignified retirement. These workers face significant demands and are often poorly paid so I thank them on behalf of all those with family members in aged care facilities, for the tremendous work they do.
