I’m excited about where aged care is heading.

Public perception is becoming more positive, reforms are lifting clinical standards.

Does the system support a good death?

It’s one of the hardest — and most important — questions in aged care.

In this clip, Rose Plater asks how the burden of compliance has changed the way we approach end-of-life care, and whether the system truly supports providers to deliver dignity, not just documentation.

JBWere’s Anthony Hamawi and David Hurley share a perspective that every leader in the sector should hear.

What surprised us most when we started in aged care? The scale of complexity — and the calibre of people working in it.

Funding, regulation, compliance, workforce… it’s one of the most challenging environments. Yet we’ve seen first-hand how many dedicated leaders are working to improve care and outcomes across the sector.

👉 Complexity creates opportunity. That’s what makes aged care such an important place to work.

For years, aged care was seen as a fallback option.

But with AN-ACC bringing more clinical focus, physios are staying longer, building deeper relationships, and using their full skill set.

It’s no longer just about the hours — it’s about meaningful, rewarding work.

01/10/2025

We’ve seen the difference when facilities shift to evidence-based pain management:
✅ Physios assess the cause, not just the symptom
✅ Exercise-based interventions alongside hands on treatment
✅ Progress is measured and tracked
✅ Families see the results documented

The result: better pain relief for residents and better use of funding.

👉 Pain management should be measurable, not just massage.
