The Aged Care Bill 2024 is bringing big changes to aged care in Australia, with a shift towards a more respectful, person-centred system. These changes are exciting, but they can also feel complex to communicate. That’s where we come in.
At Laundry Lane, we create videos and animations that simplify complicated messages and connect with people on a personal level. Using our Sensitive Storytelling Framework, we make sure the voices of older Australians are heard in a respectful and meaningful way.
Whether you need to explain new policies, engage staff, or share stories with residents and their families, we help you get your message across clearly and with empathy.
Here’s some of our recent projects in this space:
Department of Health and Aged Care: Aged Care Visitors Volunteer Scheme
“What was really the trigger for me was the fact that there we no men visiting other men.”
“i think it’s really important that members of our community and that we support each other. There are a lot of people in the LGTIBIq community, who for one reason or another, are totally alienated from their family. Often they can be very lonely, and when they get to be in aged care, they can be even lonelier because often they’re too frightened to identity. That’s why I thought, yes, I need to do this.”
Uniting Aged Care: Recruitment Video
“Being an aged care nurse isn’t the most glamorous job, but you find the glamour with the people you care for. It’s non-stop for aged care but you have a bunch of colleagues you’re working with that all have the same passion and they pour out the same commitment into what you do. You wake up and choose to look after someone else’s needs and you show up every single day. To me that is unwavering.”
Department of Health and Aged Care: Senior Australian of the Year
“When my husband died he said, now is the time to show your mettle. Those words, they still make my hair stand on end when I think about it. I think he knew that I was not too assertive and I was going to be on my own. In other words, you’ve got to stand on your own two feet now girl. I had this compulsion to walk, I didn’t walk to smell the roses, I was just walking and the faster I walked the better i felt. When my physiotherapist said ‘Why don’t you go in the masters games, so I did and I won 4 medals.”
NBMPHN: Intergenerational Program
“This is the highlight of me week, it really us. I’ve come out of my shell a bit more. I was starting to sort of lose confidence in myself. But this has made me realise that I still have something to offer.”
Southern Cross Care: Recruitment Video
“This is an organisation with heart. You see it in the faces of the staff and you see it in the faces of our residents. Every day I’m here the residents make me laugh, I’m even getting a little bit emotional now, It’s all about the connections you have.”
Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission: My Community
“Before I could go for weeks and not see anybody. Now I can walk through the foyer and have six or seven people say my name and ask me how I am. You have that closeness that makes you feel really good.”
