Monash University The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law at Monash University and the Professor Joe Aged Care Advocacy Group have made a submission to the United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons. The submission raises serious concerns about the quality of care in, and regulation of, Australia’s residential aged care facilities, particularly having regard to the impact of COVID-19 on older residents. The Director of the Castan Centre, Professor the Honourable Kevin Bell AM QC, said the key point of the submission was “the underlying problem with the delivery and regulation of residential aged care in Australia is aged care is treated as a consumer issue upon the basis that it is a business.”
