    A problem exists in age care with or without funding.

    An elderly blind person near me has difficulty in getting cleaners.
    There are a couple of agencies operating in the area, but they can't get enough staff
    to fill current rosters.
    These are largely client funded, some get a subsidy.

    The care clinics and residentials pay well above award and struggle to fill rosters
    - it is worse weekends and holidays.

    A contributing factor is high unemployment benefit
    as people choose a beach lifestyle without work.
