Paid Carers should not be casual be provided with lunch allowance

Carers who provide a couple of hours respite care per client per week for full time carers eg through St Lukes through the CHSP

Carers must be paid more and have a lunch allowance included, as they are expected to take clients out for lunch.

They should be permanent staff so they receive annual and sick leave, rather than being a casual with no benefits.

We need to encourage young people to have a career in aged care.

Client managers should no longer receive $500 per client
