As CEO of Community Vision, who provide much needed family day care, disability and aged care services, Michelle Jenkins comments, “As a grass root community-based organisation caring for our youngest and most vulnerable, we welcome this new leadership team within the sector and we call for them all to recognise and address their promises to the aged care and disability sectors.
“With aged care a key focus of Labor’s election campaign, we look forward to seeing much needed changes and to working with them to create a more sustainable sector which meets the needs of the community we serve, into the future.
“In regard to the family day care sector, we hope to see an increase in the number of childcare opportunities including additional funding of family day care providers to meet the current additional childcare demands.”
“We are very excited to work with all these experienced leaders and wish them well in their new roles. It is time for all vulnerable Australians to get the care they deserve.”
