EveryAGE Counts – a national advocacy campaign aimed at tackling ageism – has told the Royal Commission on Aged Care Quality and Safety that ageism is ingrained in widely unquestioned social norms and underpins the whole system and approach to our care system. It is a key driver of failures within the Australian aged care sector.
In its submission to the inquiry, the EveryAGE Counts coalition – which includes the Australian Human Rights Commission, COTA Australia, National Seniors, The Benevolent Society and a diverse range of other organisations and individuals – contends that ageism plays a profound underlying role in contributing to recent high profile examples of neglect and abuse that have led to the Royal Commission on Aged Care Quality and Safety.
