  3. More transparency and open communication in the aged care industry
  4. Strategies to get more younger people into the aged care sector
  5.  More funding for training
  6. No workers lacking basic skills!
  7. Mandatory dementia management training for all care workers
  8. Better nutrition/Less malnutrition in the elderly
