| Annotation | As an association of professionals who own and manage nursing homes, the Registered Nursing Home Association (RNHA) undertook a process of internal consultation of its membership in preparing this submission to the Royal Commission. This submission explores the implications of the Association's thinking on four key points. First, long term care is best planned and delivered through a strategically managed and integrated, or single-budget, process. Second, assessment is central to releasing payment for an individually appropriate level of care. Third, long term care must be fundamentally client-centred. Finally, long term care must be characterised by open and transparent decision-making. Appendices suggest how this submission assists the Royal Commission in achieving its objectives; the likely benefits of the RNHA's proposed approach to social partners; and how long-term care works and how it might work in the future.
