Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the government makes “no apology” for its ambitious 24/7 nursing requirement for aged care facilities, despite warnings that struggling providers will shut down if they can’t fill rosters.

Wesley Mission announced it would close all its Sydney aged care homes due to being unable to meet workforce requirements by the government’s July 1 deadline.
