Wesley Mission will shut all its Sydney aged care centres due to problems attracting enough staff to fulfil new workforce and care requirements imposed by the Albanese government.

The not-for-profit announced on Thursday it would shut its three remaining aged care centres in Sylvania, Carlingford and Narrabeen by the end of May, a decision that will affect about 200 residents.
