Aged-care providers are being urged to prominently publish their shortcomings and sanctions so families can make informed decisions about where to send their loved ones.

South Australian Senator Skye Kakoschke-Moore is pushing for legislative changes to force aged-care companies to publish all noncompliance notifications and punishments on their websites.

“Families deserve to know and need to have the full picture when they make the difficult decision to put their loved ones into care or are seeking help for them at home,” she said on Thursday.
