Recently Oxley Home Care commenced providing home care personal services for my father. The Senior Care Coordinator was very prompt in coming to visit my father and in organising support within a week of my phone call enquiry. She has been very friendly and helpful, and keen to ensure that the Care Worker is a good match for my father. We appreciated her phone call following up after the Care Worker's first visit to check that Dad was happy and that his needs were being met. Dad is indeed very happy with the support of his Care Worker - "She is a delightful young lady with a personality that brightens up my day. She comes for one hour five mornings a week, and is meticulous in carrying out the allocated tasks. She is efficient and uses her initiative." Many thanks Oxley Home Care! Margaret Grainger

Oxley Home Care are real professionals, and I was lucky to find them. They followed up promptly on my initial call, and always stayed in contact. They went out of their way to help me get started with a care worker, who was always prompt and supportive. I can highly recommend them !

I do not know what I would do without Oxley Home Care. From Management/Office staff to Carer's, the service is exceptional. The level of service and the interaction of Carer's with my parents is just amazing. Absolutely exceptional. At times I have needed adhoc services urgently and Oxley Office staff has organised this with ease for me. I cannot praise Oxley Home Care enough. I know they have my parents needs and wellbeing a priority. I do not hesitate in recommending Oxley Home Care .

I have been very fortunate to find a provider like the Oxley Home Care team. From senior management to Regional care Manager, to all the lovely ladies in the office and all the care workers that have assisted in helping me take care of my mother at home, I have found them to be very professional in all aspects of there work. They have been very understanding and caring and very compassionate , always willing to do above and beyond in assisting me to take care of my mother and giving me and my family the moral support to continue to do so. I highly recommend Oxley Home Care to anyone who is in need of any type of care for themselves or for there loved ones or even for a friend. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Oxley Home care Team. You are amazing. Please continue the terrific work of always helping others. Thank you again. Sr. Sofia.

2017 Budget outcome – measures to boost Australian aged care workforce

  • By Gilian Douglass

  • Care Work

It’s been estimated that the Australian aged care sector will need to expand its workforce to 980,000 by 2050 to respond to the demand of an ageing population, according to Ken Wyatt, Federal Minister for Aged Care.

A 2016 job market report from Adzuna highlighted that the number of aged care job vacancies has more than doubled Australia-wide year on year, with New South Wales and Victoria accounting for almost half of the available positions. This is backed up by a January 2016 report from the CSIRO on employment trends, predicting that healthcare and aged care sectors will be the largest employers over the next 20 years.

It is timely then that a measure from the 2017-18 Federal Budget is the funding being dedicated to establish an aged care industry-led task-force to explore ways to boost the supply; address the demand for; and improve productivity of the Australian aged care workforce.

The federal government will provide $1.9 million over two years to establish and support the taskforce, with funding coming from within existing resources of the Department of Health.

As a consequence, a strategic approach to building the workforce capacity is needed, especially given the structural changes now underway in the industry.

 

“This is good news for the Australian aged care sector. It's estimated that by 2044, there will be 1.2 million more people aged over 85 than there are today, and the average older Australian will live five years longer than today. As a result, the aged care sector needs to ensure it's adequately prepared for the times ahead," said Fraser Douglass, Managing Director of Oxley Home Care.

The Budget also included $3.1 million to improve the My Aged Care web site and $8.3 million over three years to support greater choice for at home palliative care.

The funding for palliative care, over three years, will enable the Primary Health Networks to identify local palliative care services, such as Oxley Home Care, and build links with local general practitioners to support elderly people to die an expected death in their place of choice.

“The Aged Care components of the Budget are designed to give better services and certainty to consumers of aged care, their families and carers and to the many organisations who provide the services for older Australians," said Federal Minister for Aged Care, Ken Wyatt said.

“These will be supported by an independent review of the Commonwealth’s aged care quality regulatory processes to ensure that older Australians live in the best possible environment in their later years,” Minister Wyatt continued.

Testimonials from our valued clients.

My Care Worker, Karin, is so efficient, capable and caring. She has proved to be intelligent, reliable, conscientious and her integrity is undoubted. She has been a huge factor in my living in my own home with all my health problems.
Her assistance in so many ways has contributed greatly to me achieving this and hopefully will continue for some time to come. I am very lucky to have the assistance of such a capable and understanding Care Worker from Oxley Home Care.

Brian, Wahroonga
