Ms Carnevale discussed the aged care options available to members and their family members, giving a background to the different programs on offer and how they may change in November 2025.

Ms Carnevale also discussed how private providers in the sector are monitored for compliance.

She also talked about moves made by the Federal Government to improve the wages and conditions of aged care workers throughout the country.

President of the Retired Associates, Dave McKeough, said Ms Carnevale’s presentation was the most recent in a procession of speakers who have attended meetings.

“We look for people who have presentations that are interesting and relevant for us,” he said. “Members should come away feeling informed.

“We are always keen for more people to continue their involvement with the PSA CPSU NSW by joining the Retired Associates.

“We have at least six members in their nineties, proving you are never too old to maintain your membership with the union that did so much for you during your working life.

“Meetings take place at PSA House or online via Microsoft Teams. It is a great way to keep in contact with your union.

“Interested members should contact the Member Support Centre on 1800 772 679.”
