New doco is a clarion call to care more about Australia's aging population
Filmmaker Sue Thomson recently lost her mum. But before that, they made the beautiful documentary Careless together, which explores Australia's aged care system mess.

When first assessed for MaC, you're shoved onto CHSP. Why? Because there are no funds. If you live rurally - no providers. So then you wait. And wait. & wait. Until you have a fall or incident which hospitalises you. Then you're discharged back home & it all repeats ad nauseum.

This is what happens when the aged care (oxymoron) system is broken and successive governments will not fix it, knowing we are all going to die sooner rather than later so why not speed up the process.

So despite 30 years of debilitating chronic worsening disability, I've been assessed over the phone as only eligible for CHSP. As further penance because I live rurally, there is only one provider. They dont provide meals,osteo, or social support in my area.

We like to go about our lives pretending we’ll never grow old. Therefore most try to ignore the aged, despite the fact they were once young and just like ourselves.
The least they deserve is a standard of care we would wish for ourselves and this isn’t it.
