107 Victorian Aged Care Workers Named on List of Banned People Across Australia
Published
A list of people who have been banned from working in Australia has named 107 aged care workers from Victoria. The Herald Sun published the names as part of a wider list of 577 other banned people from across the country.
The list shows that many workers in the aged care sector have been banned. Aged care workers look after older people in nursing homes, aged care facilities and in their own homes. Because these workers care for vulnerable people, bans like these are an important part of keeping residents safe.
The Herald Sun reported the list as a story of public interest and invited readers to see the full list of names. The report did not include full details about each case in the short information that was available at the time of writing.
For families of people who use aged care services, the list may be a useful way to check whether a worker has been banned. Readers who have questions or concerns about aged care services can contact the relevant state or federal authorities for more information.
