$31.2M in Govt funding to trial virtual nurses in aged care

As reported in The Weekly Source, it’s great to see regional communities continue to pioneer innovation in the delivery of aged care services with virtual nursing. We are also seeing examples of innovation with transitional housing for aged care workers in regional areas. Some aged care homes are future proofing their infrastructure by expanding residential capacity to house workers from out of town in the short-term. Eventually these dwellings could transition to retirement living when permanent housing for the workers becomes available in town centres.
