Beverly Baker is the president of the National Older Women's Network. With extensive experience in advocating for the rights and well-being of older women, Beverly is dedicated to ensuring that aging populations have access to dignity, security, and well-being. Under her leadership, the network focuses on empowering older women through community engagement and lobbying for policy changes. Key Points: The "Support at Home" initiative is meant to allow elderly Australians to live independently, but is fraught with structural and financial challenges. Many elderly Australians are struggling with increased costs and lengthy wait times for care package approvals. Despite government intentions, the aged care system remains provider-focused and lacks sufficient oversight and accountability. The privatization trend in aged care is placing profit over provision of services, impacting the quality and accessibility of care. Active political engagement and local advocacy are crucial for holding politicians accountable and driving reforms in the aged care sector. Notable Quotes: "It's really a complete cyclone that's just sucking everybody into it and who knows where they fly out." - Beverly Baker "This should come as no surprise to people that people are going, oh, look at all the old people we're getting." - Beverly Baker "The trouble with you, Bev, is that I know what it's like to be your age. You have no idea what it's like to be mine." - Beverly Baker "Growing old should be with dignity, respect, and well-being that they are things that are absolutely essential." - Beverly Baker Support the show, a product of Hope Media: https://hope1032.com.au/donate/2211A-pod/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Any assets, gifted funds, trusts, even living rent free - it's all looked at and impacts their chances of government-subsidised care. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia's long-awaited Aged Care Act came into effect on November 1, marking a major step in implementing the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Safety and Quality released four years ago.
