ANF holds national aged care phone-in

On Saturday 3 July, Australian Nursing Federation branches across Australia, which includes the Queensland Nurses' Union and the NSW Nurses' Association, are conducting a national aged care phone-in. The phone-in is to provide an opportunity for nurses and other people working in aged care, as well as residents, families and friends, to share their views about the delivery of aged care services in Australia and raise awareness of issues of concern to them in the lead up to the federal election later this year. This phone-in follows on from the highly successful phone-in conducted in October 2001.
