Submitted to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (November 2020).

Our submission provides comments to some of the 124 proposed recommendations by the Counsel Assisting on the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.

Dietitians Australia supports reforms to aged care systems and services to better support older Australians who have reduced capacity to care for themselves. We consider it vital that the aged care system is changed to improve the availability of allied health services, including dietetic services and nutrition supports.
