A MESSAGE FROM NCOSS CEO

Dear All,

Even in a wealthy nation like Australia, the impacts of poverty are far reaching. Anti-Poverty week, 13th - 19th October, is an opportunity to come together to work to end poverty; to call on our state and federal politicians to make clear commitments to reducing poverty across NSW and our nation.

We know that those living in regional communities are disproportionately impacted by poverty and are all too often left out of the conversation. To coincide with the release of new research, NCOSS is providing a platform to highlight the mounting regional pressures at NSW parliament on Thursday 24 October for the ‘Putting Regional Needs on the Map’ event. This is an opportunity to hear from a broad coalition of voices around the common concerns of economic disadvantage across NSW. I hope to see you there!

Vital to ending poverty is having a strong, diverse and sustainable community sector to support those in need. The COSS social sector survey is now live until 18 October. This is a key initiative that tells us what the sector needs - it only takes 15 minutes!

This week we bid farewell to NCOSS Deputy CEO Mel Fernandez. Mel has been with NCOSS for five years and we thank her for the significant contribution she has made to the organisation and the sector! We wish her all the best for her next challenge.

- Joanna Quilty, NCOSS CEO

ACSA Weekly 3 October 2019

See you at the ACSA National Summit!

The use of CCTV in aged care homes has been a topic of considerable community and

media debate over the last year. It is a complex legal environment and ACSA has released

a working paper to assist you develop your own organisational policy on use and

management of CCTV (here). We are intending to do some further work and provide

practical resources but for now we trust the working paper will help you navigate this

complex area.

No doubt you will by now have seen that the ABC Q&A program will be an aged care

special on Monday 7 October. We are pleased that the issue of aged care is being

discussed by the community and in the media. The panellists will be: Maggie Beer,

Minister Richard Colbeck, Julie Collins, Sarah Holland-Batt, Sean Rooney and will be

hosted by Fran Kelly. We are hoping that the chosen panellists will be able to do the

important issues at stake justice through their discussion on whether our aged care system

is fit for purpose. Something on which ACSA has made many submissions and much

media comment as recently as this week (here). But we don’t just have to leave it up to

them. Q&A offers the opportunity to join the studio audience in Sydney (here), or for those

at home to participate by sending in a video question (here) or through comment on twitter

on the night. Let’s get involved so that the issues that need to be discussed are discussed

and make a positive contribution to the national conversation the Royal Commission is

fostering in the community.

It’s great to see Maggie Beer, a passionate advocate for improving food in aged care, is

part of the panel on Monday night. ACSA has provided support to Maggie and her

Foundation and we were delighted to see her awarded the “Legend Award” at the Good

Food Awards on Monday night. Congrats Maggie!

Only five sleeps to go the most important event on the aged care calendar. The ACSA

Summit kicks off next Tuesday. It’s not too late to register if you haven’t already – make

sure you don’t miss out on this relevant and inspiring program.

If you have already registered please make sure you download the official Summit app. It’s

easy - simply search for “The Event App by EventsAIR” from Google Play or the Apple App

Store. The app features all you need to know about the Summit including speakers,

program, exhibitors, key contacts and more.

ACSA staff will be available at our Guru Bar located in the Exhibition Hall. It provides a

great opportunity to ensure you are getting the most out of your membership with

information on our services and products designed to support you in the important work

you do. It also gives us an opportunity to hear directly from you about things you would like

to see ACSA doing. Whatever you want to discuss or find out about we will be there!

If you are not joining us at the Summit you can still join the conversation by following us on

Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. The official Summit hashtag is #ACSASummit19.

Looking forward to seeing lots of you in person and the rest of you virtually next week.

Pat Sparrow, CEO

NEW ACSA Working Paper - Surveillance

Residential aged care funding reform trial - updated fact sheet

The Department of Health has issued an updated fact sheet on the residential aged care

funding reform trial. The updated fact sheet includes a FAQ section, including a schedule

for the trial.

The fact sheet can be found on the Department’s website here. More information about

residential aged care funding reform including a proposed new funding model - the

Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) - can be found here. As noted on

the Department’s website a ‘trial of the AN-ACC assessment framework is starting soon’

and ‘currently the Australian Government has made no decisions. Consultation on the

future of funding continues’.

If you feel there are more questions or answers that the Department should include in

future versions of the fact sheet, please email ACSA at memberadvice@acsa.asn.au and

we will advise the Department of Health.

Humans of Aged Care - Irene Reeves

"It doesn’t matter how old you are, you can learn

something new from our older generations each and

every day. I love listening to them, hearing about their

lives and their growing up."

Irene Reeves works as a volunteer at Koonambil Aged

Care in NSW caring and advocating for residents.

"It’s a wonderful place run by wonderful people, who

really do dedicate themselves to providing the

residents with the quality care and support they deserve.

"I know some of them don’t have friends or family close by and able to visit, and so I like to

fill that void and make sure they know they have someone there who cares."

Read Irene's Humans of Aged Care story here.

Clinical Governance Fact Sheets – Your review is required

The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission has recently released three draft clinical

fact sheets for review and feedback. Please review and provide your feedback on the fact

sheets to Margaret Haffenden at margaret.haffenden@acsa.asn.au by COB Friday 11
