Listen "Aged Care Reform: Unfair, Unreasonable, and Unsustainable? — An Interview with Prof. Joseph Ibrahim"

Episode Synopsis

Join Michael Lester from Radio Northern Beaches as he interviews Professor Joseph Ibrahim, a leading expert in aged care from Latrobe University. They discuss the recent bipartisan amendments to aged care legislation, which Ibrahim criticizes as compromised, ageist, and failing to address the critical findings and recommendations of the Royal Commission.

Discover why these reforms fall short of protecting human rights for seniors and why the current funding model, heavily reliant on privatized, user-pays care, is unsustainable in the long term. Tune in for an honest and urgent conversation about the future of aged care in Australia and what needs to change to ensure dignity, fairness, and sustainability for our aging population.
