Rest homes struggling to meet pay equity obligations

India speaks to the CEO of the Aged Care Association, Simon Wallace, about the many rest homes who have struggled to meet the cost of rising wages under April's pay equity settlement. He says homes are having to restructure, cut jobs, or even close their doors.

Wallace said what’s happened since then is that because the settlement isn’t fully funded, and has also been implemented "very quickly", it has put more homes in trouble than anyone predicted.
